Ramp etiquette

Yes, this can be frustrating.

Not all of us have a partner either. I have done my best to become proficient at the boat ramp especially when I am by myself. Sometimes though no matter what, we will have to wait. If I launch my boat it depends on where it is if it matters. ( Mazuricks is awesome) . If you launch your boat you either have to tie it up at the dock or motor it over somewhere and tie off. That can also eat up time hustling back to the truck to get pulled out.

Weekends are going to be busy, especially at primetime launch hours. An yes there are a lot of unpracticed launchers.. But outside of buying one's own private launch, or renting a slip, which can be done. We just have to take the good with the bad.


Ramp etiquette requires that too. My 2 cents.

Years ago we would always go up to Sheboygan Wisconsin to fish a Salmon Tournament, the locals had a set of bleachers set up by the ramps and in the afternoon would use signs like the Olympic judges ( 1 - 5) to rate the people putting their boats back on the trailer. Of course there was a lot cold beverages consumed! It was hilarious, 5,s would get standing ovation from the bleachers and 1's would be booed.
