Ramp rant

[Bobby Headrick]

Yes there is sometimes a need for patitence however, if someone has a big pontoon, party barge ect, they should have everything ready to go, we as fisherpeople who regurally fish tourney's and go a lot more, have it pretty well down to some degree, the state ramp at Barren is a pain, but who want's to climb Mt Narrows, especally if you are by yourself. But we must share the water and there are some out there that makes us frustrated, but we are all supposed to be fisherpeople and we are knwon for paitence.

I tell you whose the worst of all... jet skiers... I can't tell you how many times I see these folks bring out the ole portable jumpstarter, lift up the seats and work on getting their skis started, right on the ramp mind you. That needs to be done in the parking lot!! I even saw a guy at Taylorsville this year take up the whole ramp at the State Park trying to jump start his ski with jumper cables connected to his truck....

I've had jet skis and a pontoon, if you plan a little, there is no reason you can't launch a boat (bass boat, jet skis, or pontoon) in 2 or 3 minutes.

Mt. Narrows.... LOL

I'm gonna hollar "RRRRIIIIIICCCCCOOOOOLLLLAAAAAA" next time I make it to the top....

it all boils down to common courtesy again...and ALOT of people just dont have it....they really dont care if your drowning in a t-storm ..they are in their own big boat world and if you notice..alot of the big cruisers now days are being run by 18 year olds who have only been driving a car for a couple years

I agree except most folks don't take to kindly to being told how to launch at the ramp....perhaps if KWRA ort TWRA posted a few signs at the ramp that once on the ramp, you need to launch the boat / jet ski, not prep to launch then perhaps over a year or so, everyone would get the picture....... I've learned that getting the blood presssure up does no good except 'cuase frustration and the "ramp" thing is just part of it especially on the weekends.......JMHO...tight lines
