Does it have anything to do with the pink boat, maybe? ;)

I wouldnt have posted had a gentleman not got his trailer stuck on that big curb trying to get around. Had to help the gentleman unhitch, back up and drive off because of this yahoo. Those who cause problems for others shows true ignorance. If you strap at the launch at least amake sure there isnt a line of boats waiting on you.

I knew what i was in for going on saturday....and if its the only day during the week i can fish...you bet your azz i'm gonna put up w/ it and have an awesome day! I actually contributed to congestion at the ramp for a solid 3 minutes while i got my chest out of my boat to clean fish. OOOPS!

Amen, brother!!! Anybody that lauches their boat expecting any different is setting themselves up for misery.....especially on Big Lake.

Funny this topic came up, maybe there is something in the air as I am burned out on the Burned Out Bridge landing !!!

Yesterday morning, before daylight, some clown passes me up 500 feet from getting to the landing... Naturally there were three boats ahead of us which took 10-15 mins to launch, which gave me plenty of time to give the cat who cut me off the evil eye while waiting...

After fishing I was greeted by the customary family of crabbers who have ten lines out, two of which are drifting thru the launch itself just waiting to be sucked into my propellor, the others dangling off the cleats where I am attempting to tie up...

You just cant fix stupid ...

X2 that's y I make sure to get there about 5am to beat all the knuckleheads. Not everyone is fortunate enough to fish during the week. Thursday morning some guy had his boat backed in and kept screaming "it's stuck, it's stuck." he couldn't get it off trailer. I put my boat in and was just laughing. Come to find out, he forgot to take his straps off the back. Then I ended up having motor problems and had to head in around 8am. Guess I shouldn't have made fun of him. :(

For shootout, I stayed at Heberts all weekend. Was first boat to launch sat morning. Get back around 2pm slap worn out only to see that some dummy parked directly behind me and I couldn't get out. Someone had already put a note on his windshield simply reading "dumb$&@" the guy that sales the live shrimp at Heberts came up and helped my cousin and I slide my trailer over and hooked it up to his truck and he pulled it over the curb for me and I was able to weasel my truck out.

I have wanted to blow up on people plenty of times at the boat launch and on the water but do my best to keep my cool cause I know they are just trying to have a good time.

Nasty 07-10-2011 03:41 PM

I agree with all the clueless pilgrams at the launches and on the water. But, I don't let that get me upset. I just don't think it makes any sense to get all pissed off over some fish or getting out/on the water quickly. I just try to give them advice to fix/improve their ignorance. Family comes first... job/pleasure is secondary.

mcjaredsandwich 07-10-2011 03:48 PM

I feel bad for the gentleman we had to get unstuck. Thankfully he didnt have axle damage but very well could have. All the red truck had to do was move down another 100feet and everyone could have been enjoying themselves. It is all about pleasure and enjoyment on the weekend. But when people get stuck or have problems resulting from blantant disregard for others, it dumbfounds me.

Keywest18 07-10-2011 05:47 PM

we have a single ramp boat launch at a bayou i used to fish.parked my truck right by it couldnt miss it.some dude in a jeep decided to park and block about 3-4 ft of it.luckily i was in my sonoma and not my z71.after about 20minutes i maneuvered and got my boat out.still trying to figure out how my leftover bait ended up under his backseat though

Lake Chuck Duck 07-10-2011 05:49 PM

The guy in the pic wasn't even the worst one. He was just the one that caused an accident.

I know what you mean . I guess they cant read the signs saying no fishing from dock ,or the ones telling you where not to park. I cut leftover crab lines of the dock on tuesday because it was terrible, I mean how hard is it to cut them off when your done. Then they act like they cant believe your gonna make them move to launch or dock . I guess I was just raised different.

The BOB is a trashy hole of a launch which is too bad, the crap people leave behind is unreal.... There is no way to try to reason with the type of character that leaves his trash behind for others to deal with...

My wife put it best when she said "they have nothing to loose", sad but true...

I launched out of Nibletts this Am and started fishing North for a change of scenery...
