I am new here and new to boating and fishing. But I do have a funny story,
I was at a local ramp that has a small cove then goes right into the main channel. I was in my little 14' Jon boat with trolling motor only. I was just fishing the little pocket I was in. I was about 100 yards from the dock. I hear what sounded like a train coming in, I look up to see a huge new Ranger coming in wide open. He shut it down what seemed like only feet from the dock. The waves tossed me around pretty good. I did not say anything " Agin I am New". I was a single " Large " guy pull it to the dock and I turn around and keep fishing. I then hear a loud laugh. I look around and see his boat is away from the dock a a few feet. I do not think much of it. Maybe he had a long rope. Then I hear the man say " Sir, Sir " I turn to him and he ask if I could help him get his boat. I troll over to him and he gets in my boat. At this point his boat is 40-50 feet from the dock " Because of his wake ". On the way to his boat he starts bragging about it. Tell me it will go 80MPH and he gave 50K for it a few weeks ago. I then just smilled and said " You would think for 50 K they would give you a rope to tie it with. I drop him off and continue to fish.
