Thread: Lord please give me more patients!

At Barren River, the lake is still over summer pool so the distance between the shoreline and the turn around is a little tight. Normally you can have 3-4 boats coming and going at the same time but the lake is high enough now that 1 to 2 is the most you can have on the ramp and that's a squeeze. On Wednesday I pulled into the State ramp parking lot and got out and readied my boat to launch. Being by myself I have a rope that has a hook on one end that gets attached the the eye on the boat and a loop on the other that goes around the hitch so when I back in, the boat slides off and when I pull up the rope beaches the boat. I can then get out, remove the rope and park my car without making others wait on me. Now that I've readied my boat in the parking lot, I get back in my car and start to pull into the ramp and here comes a white van pulling a Pro Craft and pulls straight down onto the ramp, into the turn around and back down to the waters edge in front of me. As I sit and watch as 3 people get out and start unpacking gear and ready the boat to launch I begin to fume. When they had the last kink out of the anchor rope, launched and pulled up the ramp there were 3 more cars behind me waiting in line. With the growing popularity of fishing we need to be more respectful of others. READY YOUR BOATS IN THE PARKING LOT FOLKS! It seems this happens nearly every time we have a decent day to fish this happens and just wanted to get this off my chest. Please be respectful of others.
