slow

slow and crowded saturday. For anyone reading this: Please pass on as politely as possible to as many people as possible the following information:
boat ramps are poor places to leave unattended children
boat ramps are for off loading and retrailering boats, prep work should be done elsewhere. Don't park on the ramp to do your preperation for launch, don't unload your gear from the boat while still sitting on the ramp after trailering
people that choose to fish around the ramp should plan on getting their parking spaces early or using the upper spaces, the deep spaces marked for trailer parking only are for trailer parking only. It's not that boat owners have any more rights to close parking than bank fishermen do, it's the fact that often while a boat owner is walking that extra mile to get to his rig, many others are waiting also.
While the C ramp is being updated with new docks, the A ramp will be busier than normal-consider this when choosing where to launch. If you can use the C ramp without docks in place (a canoe or a drift boat for example) maybe you should.

Don't think that I had a bad experience and am venting- I am just seeing an escalation of frustration in general as compared to years past and would like to use this forum to try and turn the tide a little.
Even on a crowded and hectic day, fishing beats the heck out of any thing else I have done in the company of strangers and in full view of the authorities. I just want to try to keep it that way for myself and as many people as possible.Thanks

Good point!

I am probably not going to even launch my power boat this year until C opens with docks, as I don't like crowded launches one bit.

Until then, it's all about fishing from the kayak. I can gear that up in a single parking spot, and wheel it down to the water stuff the wheels in the hatch, and paddle away.

Fished for 4 hours on Sunday, threw the tackle box at 'em to no avail. Talked to one guy who did well using flatfish.

Rainy days are great; no crowds at the ramp!

I took the boat out to Haag last Saturday to give it the spring shakedown. We trolled for 3 and 1/2 hours and we landed 4 fish from 10 to 13 inches. It wasn't great catching but we had nice weather and was no better way to spend a few hours with my boys and my father. We tipped our lures with a piece of worm. We saw that many bank anglers were doing better than the trollers.
