Super User Fishes in trees Posted March 4, 2014 Super User Posted March 4, 2014 I've owned my 18' LOWE for 10 years now, but once I get in a crowd at the ramp, I turn into that ramp rookie all over again. If nobody is waiting in line, I hit my trailer right first time, nearly every time. When guys are waiting to take out, that is when I turn into a klutz as far as getting the boat back on the trailer goes. I am not a big fan of running my boat in a crowd either. The last couple of years that I've fished the Wounded Warriors tournament at Truman Lake, I requested to go last, just so that I wouldn't be worried about some guy in a much faster boat coming up on me from behind.

FrogFreak Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 What do I hate about fishing? Nothing. OK, maybe a couple things.... I don't enjoy the people that seem to think the boat ramp is where you should do all the little things like get your rods ready, Move your gear into your boat, etc etc. I mean you've been in line for 20 minutes, what the heck is wrong with you? I had a guy who was trolling for Walleyes all over this area in no discernible pattern and I pulled up about 300-400 yards away from him to cast into some weeds. He then comes by about 15 minutes later and was upset that I was in his area.I told him I was trying to stay away from him. I mean there was a very shallow weed island between him and I when I first pulled up.. And then he turns quickly into my path and gets more irate. Mumbled something about me not knowing what I was doing. I was on the trolling motor and he was on the big motor. It was comical. When it's windy, I usually either anchor on a windswept point or get out of the wind. Granted, I don't like fishing in the wind but I deal with it. I just don't get to pick the days I can fish so I deal with what I have. Quote

SudburyBasser Posted March 4, 2014 Posted March 4, 2014 Wind is definitely something I hate. Also, waking up early to go fishing. I'm a man who enjoys his sleep. Quote

Djman72 Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 1) ice 2)Ice 3)ICe 4)ICE I fish a lot of local/private ponds most of the time without permission. I practice catch and release on ALL fish in this situation, aviod people's property and keep to myself. Yet, people still will come down and kick me out, even go as far as to call the cops. That ticks me off more than ice. Quote

plumworm Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 DJman72: do you read what you post. "with out permission"," go so far as to call the cops" on my sorry butt, You have just posted the " #1 dumb post of the year" however, you may get lucky, after all it's only March and there are 9 more months for someone to beat you. Good luck on that. 4 Quote
plumworm Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 Nascar2428, This year it isn't the state of Michigan that going to stop you, it's going to be the 24" of ice. Quote
