A big thanks too the two fishermen that helped me get my boat off the rock pile by the ramp. Also, big thanks to the fisherman from Missouri that helped me get my boat loaded. Caught four fish, all in all, a good day.

Glad you got some help
No pics?
no pics it didn't happen :)
I bet he wishes it never happened.
my heart was pumping like a locomotive at full throttle, my mind was racing from one extreme to another, taking a picture did not enter my mind.
That ramp is a beast with a hard SW wind too
worst location ever for a ramp. would have made too much sense to put it over on the east bank out of the wind and dredge it out. and too much sense to put some wave breakers up and a place to park boat. if its flood control only, where does all that money go from the fishermen?
That's good--no proof--you can deny it ever happened :)Quote:

Petie was in the 5% like the rest of us
How big of a boat and motor do you have G
Wind is everything at Sardis, use your head and listen to some locals that fish up there a lot. As far as Engineers point being the cure all I don't see it that way, not everyone is set up for a 15 mile boat ride. If top end is 30 miles an hour then it would take a half hour to get back in in good conditions much longer on a ruff lake, Sardis is also a LONG drive around too but have found that the drive just aint that bad compared to a ruff arse boat ride. I do the same on Grenada, put in pretty much where I intend to start if the wind allows. Pay attention to the lay of the land, so to speak, and the wind forecast, if the wind is gonna be blowing straight into that ramp avoid it.
