How not to launch your boat

Posted on September 7, 2008 - Filed Under Fish, Fishing, Sea Fishing

Boat launching can be a slightly stressful situation at times. Often you are faced with impatient anglers who feel that you holding them up is going to cost them a fish of a lifetime. If you have to share the ramp with other water users, such as jet skis, this situation can become even more stressful. I am a proponent of making sure that you are ready to launch when you pull up to the ramp. I can’t stand people who drive up to the top of the ramp and begin to get the boat ready - that is what the preparation area is for! I have seen many anglers load the boat up for longer than ten minutes while others wait behind them and it never ends well. Fortunately I am a patient person, but others aren’t always this way. Enough of the serious talk though. While trolling around youtube I came across this slightly disturbing video of a failed launch of a jet ski. It would have been nice to see more people come to the rescue, but I guess there isn’t much that can be done - I hope that wasn’t salt water!
