The GPS coordinates for Ruggles Beach are 41-23.101/82-28.349. Water depth goes from 5 ft to 15 ft and then drops to 24 ft to 25 ft according to the map Lake Erie Western Basin. Hope this helps, :)

Waht are the water works humps/ What are the coordinates?
The "Hump" as us locals refer to it, is west of the Huron Pier. In the attached link west of the horseshoe (white area on the map). Go to the middle of the breakwall and troll west, you will find the hump. Don't run too far west near shore or your prop will be eating rocks, you have to know where that point is or you will have issues, the depth goes from 10 ft. to 3 ft. before you know it. I've seen guys out there before that have never fished the area run aground.

Hey Krusty are you getting the small boat ready for the night eye,s? Maybe we can hookup this year.
The red zeppelin (small boat) will be ready come November after I get the bigger boat cleaned up and ready for hibernation, plan on pulling her 11-3. We will definitely get out and spank some eyes:B Give me a ring when you get a chance.
