I could use some help guys. Can anyone give me information or post a link to any of the following please.

Local navigational maps
Public ramps in the area that will be closer to better fishing areas.
Any info on how the fishing is at and around Cherrystone
Tackle shops
Best places to eat and of course any BREW PUBS.

Thank you

Also if anyone needs info about my neck of the woods I have a site like this one for CT.

Can't help with the nav aids but will try to help with the rest.
Cherrystone is 11 miles north of CBBT and all info will be in these 11 miles.
Local eats, There is a Mc'D and Hardee's on Rt.13 just south of the turn for Cherrystone. Also check out Stingray's they got some good reviews last year (I think the paper said they have a big name cheif there.) There is a foodlion behind the McD's also.
Tackle shops, There is a tackle shop in the campground and I have heard that there is another tackle shop close to the CBBT but have not seen it. (Ask about it at one of the fast food places.)
Fishing, Straight out from cherrystone (cherrystone has a ramp for guest) about .5 to 1 mile is fishing for croaker. (shallow area if you head straight out. be careful.) On the other side of Rt.13 from cherrystone is Cheriton/Oyster. Cross over Rt.13 and go straight into Cheriton when you get into Cheriton you will have to turn to left or right. Look for the Oyster public ramp sign. I think it will be a left turn. (the turn is no more then 1/4 mile from the turn.) This area is on my fish list but I have not fished it yet. I have check out the boat ramp and it is in good shape. (This area should be good for Flounder, Red/Black drum, Trout.)
Cape Charles has a boat ramp Don't know if it is free. I believe they use this ramp to fish some of the bouys in the area for Cobia.
Kiptopeake (sp) state park has a boat ramp (small fee). They use this ramp to fish the concrete ships, CBBT and around Fishermans Island.
Eastern Shore wildlife refuse has an area to launch canoes/kayaks and small john boats. (use this area to shorting the paddle to fishermans island.)
As far as Bars/Pubs I'm not a drinker but I think that I have seen a few Resterants/bars in the 11 mile stretch of Rt.13.

Thank you people. Everything is looking good and I will be down there next Saturday.

Couple more: Can you smoke (I’m a cigar guy) in bars down there?
I would like to catch some crabs. Can you rent traps? Or is there a way I can get them by grabbing them up from the shallows at night with a spot light?
What’s the water temp? Will I turn blue if I jump in?

Thanks again
