Boat Ramp confessions....

[Mike Mofield]

I tried to load my Stratos on the trailer with the trolling motor still down in the water. You ask how did that turn out ? NOT TOO GOOD!! Snapped the shaft on the trolling motor that was supposed to be unbreakable..

Just last weekend i had taken my boat to OHL to break out the ultralight equipment. Went through my checklist and launched solo. Somehow the spring on the hook of the winch strap was on the OUTSIDE of the hook so as i backed her down, she floated away. Luckily there was a gentleman about to load up and asked if i needed a lift. Thank goodness i didnt have to swim that day. I dont wear no skivvies. Lol

Fishing PP last summer out of Stewarts Creek, came back to take out about mid day and the ramp was still busy with summer folks. Got in my truck backed down the ramp and opened the door to go get the boat from the dock and I could not get out of the truck. I was stuck to the seat of the truck.

What had happened was I had left a lure sitting on the seat in the boat, it had attached itself to my shorts which in turn had attached my shorts to the truck seat. I was really stuck and people were lined up waiting for the ramp. I had to close the door and try to shimmy out of my shorts (I'll go about 275 lbs) while everyone is watching thinking what is that crazy old man doing taking off his clothes. I finally got them off and cut the lure from my truck seat and shorts.

What an embarrassment.
