I was wondering if Mudge is public and if so can you launch a bass boat
there?


It's got a state ramp on it. However:

The ramp is extremely shallow, especially this time of year, when the lake
is up. You have to back the truck a long way into the water to get to the
drop-off and actually get the boat wet.

It's got a 7.5hp and 6mph limit. to be completely legal, you're supposed to
take the prop off the big motor and leave it tilted up so the propshaft is
visible.

That having been said, I put my boat in there all the time. Sometimes I
take the prop off and sometimes I don't. I never start the engine, but I
don't leave the motor tilted up, because my boat is impossible to control
without its 'rudder' effect. Most of the big boats that do launch there do
leave the motor trimmed up.
