Today it was a tight squeeze because several did not park all the way up or took up part of the next space . Please remember there are limited spaces at some boat ramps and sloppy parking effects everyone.

Looks like someone was in a bit of a hurry to catch a fish.
We have alot of that where we duck hunt. One person can park wrong and you can't turn around to back your boat in. Some young arrogant dude that I hadn't seen before, launched his boat and parked in the middle of the turn around, but hadn't left in his boat. One truck had messed up where you normally can park 5 or trucks if done properly. I asked him nicely if he would mind to pull further forward to park so people could turn around and he had the audacity to ask me just who I thought I was. I then explained to him that I couldn't do anything about the way he parked, but that he had backed his boat across my brothers land to launch. I then told him that the next ramp up the river was public land and if he didn't pull forward, or pick up his boat and go to the public ramp, he was gonna face trespassing charges. He pulled forward. We were all able to launch and park with no trouble.
Wait, was there a tournament? People who are fishing in tournaments have a pass to #1: cut ahead of you while you are trying to launch, #2: Sit on the ramp while they get their boat ready to launch, #3: Zip past you on plane while you are on your spot. And my personal favorite, #4: Pull up on YOUR spot while you are fishing it and do their best to nose you out of it. But remember guys, they are fishing a tournament, so they have the RIGHT to do these things!Quote:

I've done that before. The guy parked to where his trailer was blocking the ramp. So we picked it up and moved it nearly 90 degrees out of everyone's way. This ramp is hard enough backing in with nothing in the way. Gotta love public ground hunting.Quote:

Have seen that done before!!! We have one ramp here that I have to really work to get my truck and trailer in the space, just too tite. If someone is parked on both sides of me when I come out there is no way for me to go anywhere, whole parking lot maybe 70 foot wide going down toward the lake with parking down the center.
I'm glad we have a fine fellow like u up there to keep everyone in line should get there a little earlier next time to help those folks out!
Next time I'll ask the Ranger to check it out. We had to pull out off the asphalt to get out without hitting anything.
That's what I would do! Can't think of anything worse than someone's trailer tire being a foot over a parking spot better yet u got a pic with the trailer plate why don't u go show them!
