How To LAUNCH And LOAD Your Bass BOAT By YOURSELF

  • Launching and loading your boat can be challenging...even for the most experienced anglers. In this video I show you how I load and unload my Bass Tracker Pro Team 175. This is the unconventional way to do it, though I find it to be a much easier and more efficient process.
    As always, thank you for your continued support. I appreciate you guys and gals!!

    • @theone4929
      @theone4929 10 месяцев назад

      ​@@packattack1762before you back your boat down the ramp, take the straps off in back, make sure your drain plug is in, have your boat already loaded with any gear you're bringing. That appears to be the biggest complaint at boat ramps, and the majority of boat ramps will have a staging area to prepare before you get to the ramp. After you load the boat, immediately pull out to a clear area where you are going to unload your boat and prepare it for the drive home. If you're new to boating, do not rush and make a checklist

      Most people spend 30k on a boat and fish twice a year. Don't worry about "most people". My grandfather loaded his 18' tri-hull for as long as I can remember just like this. He fished nearly every weekend.

  • @steveschisler7553
    @steveschisler7553 3 года назад +6

    I use a bit longer rope - 40’ - and tether it to my hitch in front of the ball. I unhook the boat strap BEFORE my feet ever get wet, back in, STOP abruptly, when the boat clears the trailer, I pull forward until the trailer is out of the water. I stop and then take the rope off its tether point and pull the boat in and tie it off or dock it. When I load out, I always back in where my feet can stay dry, pull the boat on, lean over and hook up the strap, climb down my easy-steps and crank it up the last 6 inches. Get in the vehicle and pull it to complete tie down process. Dry feet on the way home=PRICELESS!

Took several attempts to get it on the trailer, and then after pulling away, noticed the boat was off center in the back. Wife and I went out yesterday, and decided to use your rope method for loading and it went 100 times better for me! Was so easy and fast, boat sat on the trailer perfectly! Thanks again!

      Failure to center is often a result of backing in too far. You only need about half the bunks underwater on carpeted bunks for most V-hull boats.

    I've been reviewing launch and load techniques for a couple of months now, on and off. This is the most sensible no-frills technique I have seen to date. I'm an old guy and I believe this technique will work fine for me. I'll let you know after my testing the waters, so-to-speak. Thanks for a nice video. Well done.

    Best launch & load I've seen yet. I've always tied my rope tether to the boat cleat but will clip to the bow eye from now on. And always drove onto the trailer, and you're right, getting off the boat onto the trailer was always a risk. Like your method much better when you pulled the boat up to within reach and wenched the rest of the way on. Thanks much for the video and the lesson. Will tweak the way I load my boat from now on.

      We all do it from time to time. Even experienced boaters. It's why I have a step built onto the front of my trailer. It helps. That still hasn't stopped me from slipping like a fool on the algae covered ramp though. In fact, I just did it a couple of weeks ago. Best to just roll with it and get wet than try to fight it and hurt something.

    I've used this method many, many times. It's a necessary method on smaller lakes that do not allow you to use your outboard. Your meticulous attention to the step by step process in order to facilitate a flawless execution is not only appreciated but also admired.
    All the newbies should be grateful they found this no nonsense, educational video.
    However this method is a mega bitch on a windy day 🤣

      When your backing start out straight. Watch your mirrors both sides (not the rear view on the windshield) Which ever side you see more boat on, turn towards its. Think of backing it straight and turn towards your trouble. More boat on the left, turn the wheel to the left. More boat to the right, turn to the right. Just turn towards your trouble. 😉

      If I may. If you noticed in the video, Junky has his tail gate down. I cannot tell you enough how much this will help you to learn to back your boat down a ramp. And when you go to recover your boat, it helps to see the trailer. I do it all the time.

      I’ve had a boat in the past and used a somewhat similar method. Looking at getting one again when things settle out - so I just keep looking at a lot of different things and came across this and watched to see if I could pick up a hint or two... this for sure is helpful. Especially if people watching have NEVER had to single hand something. Perfect execution in my opinion. 👍🏼
      Hopefully anyone who watched remembers the most important hint - check that PLUG 3x. Hahaha. As a different note I suggest always having a second one ON the boat for emergencies or whatever the heck.
      Anyhow - thanks again for the vid. 👍🏼

    Great video. Hope more people watch and learn. Wish more would ask for help, when they really do need it.. lol
    None of us were perfect when we got our 1st boat. We made our mistakes and learned. Sometimes we got advice when it wasn't asked for. Eventually, we figured it out.
    Lakes are fairly simple, once you find a system that works for you. To each his own.
    A river with strong cross current, high winds, waves, and 38° water, just after ice out, (prime time for Walleye), is a whole different story.
    I'll fish anywhere, anytime, when life allows ! Early and late season walleye, and white bass runs that coincide are my favorite.
    Once I got the right gear and clothing, weather won't stop me, ( as long as conditions are safe, I'm out there ).
    Launching is fairly straight forward. You can even use the current or wind to your advantage. If you have a launch with piers on either side, and can choose, things only get easier.
    Trying to land a boat in those conditions, even if you have help, can be a nightmare.
    I have an older, 19ft V aluminum V-hull, not a deep V. Roughly 3-4 ft of bow is V, then goes flat, rest of way back. Not the best on rough water, but it's all I have for now. Plus, I kind of get the best of both worlds...
    I can hit minor waves with the V up front, plus, she'll float in 14, 16 inches of water.
    Not the driest ride out there, but I deal with it.
    Back to the landing...
    I have a roller trailer, and just installed side bunks last year. They definitely help.
    But, it's a total crap shoot, whether she sits on trailer straight or not. Sometimes I can hit it just right, be hooked and off the ramp in less than a minute.
    Most of the time, I'm stuck resetting, bouncing the bow over, so it sits right, or stuck leaving it as it is. Good enough to make it home safe, but not sitting perfectly on the rollers.
    I've tried changing depth, when I back down... Tried moving side bunks forward or back... Even tried using the winch, to bring bow up straight. I'll get lucky now and then, but it's rare.
    Does anyone have advice for landing the boat right, under those conditions ?
    Just ordered a self centering bow roller, hope that helps.
    The front part of the keel is flat, from previous owners either beaching it, or hitting trailer wrong. Probably both.
    There's a crossbar and roller, about 2 ft back from front roller, I can use the self centering on. That should take care of the bow.
    The only thing left is getting the transom to sit right.
    I know the quad rollers are worn and need work. There's 2 pair. One so back most roller sits right under transom, then forward about 4 foot.
    Before I go spending hundreds on rollers and spacers, I was thinking about making pair of short, maybe 2 foot long bunks, that are spring loaded, and can catch the ribs just right, keep boat centered.
    Side bunks help a lot, but theyre not perfect.
    Wind and waves tilt boat, so when I pull out, the transom is not level, and rollers are sitting in the wrong place, underneath.
    Side bunks are tight to the sides, when loaded.
    Is there anything I'm missing ?
    Any suggestions ?
    So far, no one has told me I'm doing anything wrong.
    Thanks
