Just got me a boat!!

[fish4fun]

After reading all of ya post about catching them crappies, i decided to get a boat too so that I don't miss out all the actions. Now all i need to do is learn how to load and unload the boat, boy its not an easy tasks. So if ya see a guy who is having trouble with loading the boat into the water, you'll know its me. Also i need help as to where to fish for them, like at flat swamp or tamarac. I don't know where to fish at these landings. I only fish off the banks, so i don't know where to fish on a boat. Any information would be really nice. I am looking to take the boat out this sat at High Rock.

Thanks

fishing by myself i had a hell of a time doin it myself for the first several times. my boat is soo picky that the trailer needs to be in the water at the right level or else the boat wont sit on the trailer right.....anyways good luck wiht it. first 3 times will be tough then it will be routine :D

1st time I did it I flat out embarrassed myself to death. 2nd time and the laughing of the audience was just a little less. 3rd time and it was like riding a bike!

Try and do your first time on a weekday when nobody is there to heckle you.

What kind of boat did you get?

Shoot, if I can learn anyone can. They don't laugh anymore at me, but they usually ALL stop and watch the fat lady doin' it right! LOL

.....or at least getting it done.

fish4fun....it only took me 6 tries to load my pontoon boat Monday....and that was with my wife directly me onto the trailer. The best thing was I only had one truck and one car with people standing at the access area watching me. I dread the day when I take it out by myself.

there are several different factors that will cause problems but the main thing is take your time - and do not rush - it just makes matters worse - most decent folks that see you having a problem will offer to help - but you ot some that are just insensitive a$$e$ that will get pissed off about it but you can bet if it was not you it would sometiing else wrong cause they stay pissed half the time - if someone offers help do not be offended and let them help - be waeary of folks offereing to moveyour truck if you do not know them cuz they may move it on down the road - you will get it - and congrats on the boat

Congrats on the boat. Hope you pull out a bunch. Don't get embarrased about unloading the boat into the water, it gets easier with every try.
