    I believe if a kid wanted to make a few bucks he could work a busy ramp like a valet. 5 bucks and 40 launches later adds up. Might even get a mess of fish.

    Your probably right hotrod! Just watch out for the 6 foot kid wearing Sponge Bob Nighties with a ReyMysterio Mask! BigBlue glad to hear that. I always ask if I see a guy launching by himself but they always tell me they got it most of the time! All I can do is offer to help but mostly amazed at how well they have got so good at it.....

    I remember a long time ago a guy used to always be at Wyatts helping out. My dad always let him help and tipped him even though we didn't need any.

    I have had to have help putting my last boat back on the trailer and certainly do not mind helping someone either launch or recover. It is so much more enjoyable when we all work and play well together.

    Thats cool BB. Last two I helped was a guy in his 80s ay satdis that was commercial fisherman with a big ole flat bottom and the other was a guy in his 80s at butla that was having a time backing up so I just picked the trailer up and got him straight. I like helping like this -- its knda fun and they kinda reminded me of satdoc lol

    I help you one day that you and your wife were fishing. I try to help whenever the opportunity arises. I've been helped a bunch lately. When I fished the FJ alone, everybody gave me a hand, especially Yikes and Speck. Thank You both!!!!!

    I'm glad some folks still know how to be considerate of others at the ramps. I was at Enid earlier this week. A fellow in front of me and I was sitting at the top of the ramp waiting for a guy that had backed down and then started unstrapping his boat to move. Just as he headed up the ramp this Dude with a fancy Bass boat came roaring by and cut ahead of us and launched. He pulled his boat up onto the ramp and went to park his truck. As he got even with my door he noticed his boat had drifted out into deep water. He went to cussing. The fellow in front of me went and fetched his boat for him. It's a good thing he did because if the Dude had asked me I was going to tell him I would like to, but my insurance wouldn't allow it. Instant Karma is great !
