    Its not fun, and there is definately a sceince to it, but you can load with your TM, or get a rope and pull your rig up close enough to hook up. Not that I care to see someone power load, but would hate to see somebody get a ticket for it.

    I can't load it with my rig using the trolling motor. Mainly because at this particular lake right now, I don't want to submerge the tailpipe in the water and suckup water into the engine of the truck.

    You would have to be there to see what is going on.

    i also fish Deams quite often and very easily load my 19 foot glass bass boat with the trolling motor. it can be done if you use the tm and momentum. put the tm on high and as you near the trailer start lifting the tm and let the momentum carry you to within easy reach of your winch strap.

    Me personally, I would at least offer to show a guy what to do if I knew. If I don't know, why is it so hard to just leave this thread alone? Instead. You are trying to make me feel like an idiot on this forum and make me feel I don't deserve to be out fishing. I mean by now, if you were paying attention to what I HAVE BEEN saying, instead of your own personal gain, you would see the problem. But that's ok, there are plenty on here who have already helped me out. Guess those people are much more of a man than you then, huh? Don't worry Embry, you may have ticked me off a little, and I'll get over it, but Jesus loves you. He understands you even if I don't.

    Don't worry about him Arauthator.....he is one one of those guys on here that puts others down..... i.e his comment on taking young kids fishing.....and by his OWN account usually doesn't figure out how to catch fish when its gets tougher to catch them.

    Re: Trolling Motor Only Lakes

    Well.....a couple of weeks ago there was a thread about tx's for young kids....specifically about a six year old......and you said "takea six-year old tx fishing, really". Also, from what I have read in the thread about loading the boat your "tone" of voice was very harsh towards the fella. Each is their own, and if he can't load his boat that way at that particular ramp, then who are you to tell him otherwise....especially if you haven't been to the ramp to see it first hand. I am no Saint and have questioned others on here....so take my point of view with a grain of salt if you'd like!

    i didnt mean to not take a kid fishing. to me i wouldnt put a kid in a tourney. kinda puts the wrong reason on fishing like you have to win at it or something. just my opinion which dont mean anything. a kid should learn to fish for fun ,at least while theyre young.and ive witnessed many times and done it myself loading a boat with a trollin motor and havent ever seen it not work at a public ramp. no harm meant! lol

    Point taken on the tx thing.....guess I didn't think of that way. I've loaded a boat like you mentioned and it worked just fine also....in this instance maybe the ramp makes it more difficult??? Have you been on Patoka lately?? We qualified for the USA BASSIN regional and can't decide if we want to go or not...fishing been any good down there? It was super tough last year....we were one of only three boats to get a limit!
