The weather got a little weird.

Yesterday I went sturgeon fishing in the pontoon. Fishing was good the catching was not. We fished from 8:00am to noon and my buddy took off. I stayed until about 3 and was getting ready to take off. A couple in a kayak pulled up and were were talking. A sturgeon surfaces between us. The girl was screaming bloody murder.

I went to the next hole and tried there for about an hour. I got one pop and drop and missed it. Then the weather got bad. I took off for the dock but I got hammered. The waves were huge and it go so rough that the kayak's headed for the bank. I pulled out the rain gear and went for it.

There should be some classes taught on what to do and not do at a boat dock. You don't overhaul your engine on the ramp. You don't put a boat in the water on the ramp and leave it there. If your taking a carburetor off your boat on the ramp here is a hint work on it somewhere else.

I always try to do it as fast as I can and sometimes I just get a little behind. I understand and help guys load their boats if I have my waders on. I enjoy talking to them. Sunday was out of control. My rant us done. Ron

Thats a rant? I'm sure that it was a lot worse than you made it sound, but you are right, if anyone is on the ramp or dock doing anything besides loading or unloading they ought to get a ticket or towed, but I guess that will never happen.

You are not alone. I run into stupid/rude people every trip.
1st trip this year, a dipstick at strike airborne dock area parks his truck and boat right at the beginning of the curve where the restroom is and we waited and yelled at him for 15 min to move his crap...
2nd trip guy puts his boat in at the dock (doesn't move it down the dock) and screws around and works on it for 30 minutes. Had to yell at him to wise him up.
Last weekend, idiots kept moorings through my lines on my crawdad traps (surprised they didn't cut the lines). They literally ran right over the traps twice. I showed great restraint in that I didn't shoot them...

I came in once and a guy had launched his boat and left his tow vehicle and trailer parked right on the ramp with the trailer still in the water. I am sure that it made it easy for him to trailer his boat when he returned, but him blocking 1/2 of the ramp made it a pain for everyone else!
