Fishing story #1

[Ray]

Saw a couple of boats in Prien Lake, one towing in the other.
The one towing had his trolling motor down and running big motor, but not fast.
I told Tightline11 that it was funny they had the trolling motor down. Didn't think nothing more about it.
Trailer was backed in the water, they threw the line back to the broke down boat and proceeded to load the boat on the trailer.
I left, soon as I got on Prien Lake Rd., got a call. They loaded the boat half way on the trailer, with trolling motor down. Couldn't get all the way on the trailer, but couldn't get off the trailer either.

I am thinking about bringing out a picnic basket of food and an ice chest of beer and watching people launch and retrieve boats tomorrow. Can I do that at a public launch?

[jlincecum]

thats almost as good as the guy I watched drag his "NEW" Sea Pro of the trailer on the landing cuz he didnt pick the motor up....lmao

[mako1]

Don't normally see this kinda stuff in the winter.
Summer time Prien is priceless.

Yep! Boat motor size should not exceed IQ.......

Last Spring while waiting to load my boat I watched a man at Prien Launch back his 25 ft. offshore boat with a custom cover on it. When the boat started down the ramp it started to pick up speed and just pulled the Chevy Surburban with all 4 tires sliding until the boat motors cowlings (2 motors) was about to go under, He tried to pull back up the ramp but just spun so I drove down ramp,hooked tow line and pulled him up. Well, he never pulled the custom cover off all Winter and he had his boat parked half under the eve of his house and never pulled the plug. It was so full of water that the tires were rubbing the top of the finders.

Thats a good rule of thumb right there.

Not always, but what I have noticed is that the bigger the boat, the bigger the idiot who is driving it, with no respect towards other boaters
