That ramp looks familiar...
Rickie
They had old van captains chairs for seats!!!
Complaining? You mean 1 guy taking up 2 lane on a launch ramp? That's everyday up here.
pull down beside him where he cant get back in the truck.
seen the same thing today. they just pull up where ever the truck stops and get out and leave the truck where noone can drive through the parking lot. And they wonder why we dont want them here, it's not the fishing, its the stuff on the ramps.
just squeeze in there, I'm pretty sure he won't be complainin too :ThumbsUp
Serious Buffaloe13? No one from KY would do that? (I dont think BIGBRADDAD said they were from out of state.) I can't believe that seeing the things I have at Patoka. Kind of reminds me of the soil bank days. Some mostly hunters would complain about out of state hunters. Now they are complaining their businesses are closing and economy is hurtng. Pheasant hunters brought so much money to those states and still do bring quite a bit to a lot of states just as fishing and recreation brings a lot of money to KY. That money eventually helps not only the residents of KY but also the State. I can't help it there are slobs from out of state but I assure you all are not and some in state are slobs as well. Sorry but I am just tired of the jabs one bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch.
Pffftt ... I've seen worse !! (locals & oos'rs both)
Gauging the width of the ramp in that picture, I'd say two other vehicles/boats could launch at the same time and still have plenty of wiggle room. You just need to hope that the drivers are good at backing their rigs up straight.
... cp :kewl
Isn't this typical ramp procedure? Couldn't see if he was ready to launch or as usal loading his boat.:welcome
I'm gonna say that's a local. Looks like a Royal Oaks Chevy Plate on the front. As a matter of fact I'm not for sure but I think I know who that is. I'll inform him that he was busted! :biggrin
I wouldn't split that ramp if I had to. Both sides are get'n busted up pretty bad and you're gonna tear something up doing that. Both sides aren't even and there is some re-bar sticking out in places.
And gone_fishing... I agree that 1 bad apple don't spoil the whole bunch, but if you keep bite'n into bad apples sooner or later it's gonna leave a bad taste in your mouth!
We put in a lot of time on the water here and you have NO IDEA some of the things we see! Sometimes it will make ya mad and sometimes you'll laugh your butt off at the pure stupidity. Most people don't do it on purpose, they just don't know. Most of the time I'll try to NICELY tell them what they've done wrong and hope they take it the right way. Some do and some don't, but either way most of them are not repeat offenders once you call them on it. :biggrin
It don't matter where ya live....some people just don't have a clue.
I don't think I said anything about out of state did I ???
Heck, I wanna know where the old dude got his van seats.:highfive I am relatively new to the traveling fishing routine, meaning hitting multiple lakes throughout the year. One thing holds true. Resident or ooser, if you get within eyesight of a boat ramp, there will be an idiot doing what idiots do.
I think it gets exponentially worse when the weather warms. Enjoy the cool weather folks.
Can't fix stupid. Never occurs to some to think of others. For that one moment in time, he's gonna own the ramp and be proud of it. Bet at night he backs down the middle with his high beams illuminated.

I keep hearing some of you guys talking about van seats, I don't see no seats in this picture beside the top of that seat on the boat. But how do you know it's from a van?
I know whiskers I see it too, and the more you see it the more aggravating it gets. One thing is for sure you don't have to pass an IQ test to get a fishing license.
I said van seats because I saw the van seats.Two up fornt and one in the rear. It was a unique customized jon boat I tell ya!!!! To be honest, I didn't have any problems with the couple. I ust waited as I was done and just reloading my boat on the trailer. I asked if they needed help but they said no.Quote:
