Apparently being first in line and being out of the way just means that two or three *******s are going to decide to launch in front of you by pulling right into the spot that you were going to use even though they weren’t ready and didn’t have their stuff ready to go so I dump this day launch like an ******* day

Typical behavior anymore
Sure is becoming more frequent And I’m reasonable I’m launching by myself so if someone comes to the ramp and they’re prepared to go ahead and put in the water go ride ahead of me no problem but don’t pull down in front of me when I’m close enough and I am working on getting ready and pull around to where I was going to launch and then get out and to have you start getting your boat ready

That's the problem we have in today's world. Not many people even acknowledge that other people are in line in front of them, they don't prep their rigs for launching prior to their approach to the ramp and don't care how long it takes them. Like has been stated above, If I'm alone I get everything ready prior to getting on the ramp. Then it's just a matter of getting the boat in the water, floating off the trailer, and pulling out, tying up, and getting off the ramp.
Some folks just don;t care about anythi9ng but themself
And then those that back in the middle of a two lane launch blocking someone else. Every day at holiday lodge.

I go out of my way often to launch where I'm guessing the least traffic will be. If it cost me a longer boat ride so be it. I've seen my fair share of idiots over time, believe me. I have found a simple conversation with most will make them aware of the error of their ways. Really wanted to chew a few, but that just escalates to a bad situation for all. Cooler heads will prevail, and don't be scared to offer help to someone who can't back a boat and trailer. I've done it countless times. Big fancy bass boat / fishing guys aren't prevalent in the lakes I fish, thank goodness. It's the fleas we see the most trouble with.

A common courtesy often overlooked is to turn your headlight off when it is dark and you are at the water. If you trying to back down in the dark and the guys next to you is either trailering the boat or launching it and leaves his bright headlights on shining up the ramp in your face you can't see a darn thing. You can always turn them back on when you start to pull out.
