Love those camo Crappie, much better fighters and good eating.

Just come to Devils Fork boat on Labor Day about 7:30, better fights than the UFC

Better watch teaching her to fish and back the trailer by herself RCC. That block in the back of yer truck may be for weighting down yer body!!!!! You can do a lot of fishin with a good insurance check!!! :-)

Lately the backing lessons have been going better than the fishing lessons. If I don't get us on some fish before long, I may get to see how far I can swim with that block around my neck.

We did eat that ole camo big lipped crappie Sunday afternoon, and it was purty good. I wouldn't mind having a cooler full of those.

One of the best tips I ever got for backing a trailer and I shared with my wife was "Put you hand(s) on the bottom of the steering wheel and move your hand in the direction you want the trailer to go.
She went on to drive our Motorhome cross country several times. Of course, if you are towing a car 4 wheels down you can't back up (well maybe 5 or 10 ft. but it will jack knife before you get very far)

I absolutely love when there is a guy at the ramp that take 10 mins to back his boat down the ramp then my wife jumps in the truck and backs straight down the ramp launches the boat while the guy is making the walk of shame back down the ramp.

I bet Carol will be backing like a champ in no time.

Before our camper, we used to spend a week on islands on Quachita. We would take both boats, pulling the stick steer with the toon boat once on the water. Mrs DP would park the vehicels while I rigged up the boats at the launch. On one particular time, she managed to get the toon trailer 1/2 way on top of the smaller trailer. She came down to the launch and told me she "wrecked" them. I had never seen trailers all tangeled up before.
A couple of guys were nice enough to help me get them separated. Afterwards, while me and the guys were assessing all of the damage, they asked if I was going to leave a note to the owner of the smaller trailer. They were rolling on the parking lot when I told them " I own both of them" and what had really happened.
Beware; she is pulling our camper when I get too sleepy to drive.

Woman Backing up anything...is always fun to watch. As long as it ain't my boat and trailer. HAHA!!!
