No you saw him getting ready, he was just about to line up and you kept coming. Why didn't you drop your partner off on the dock and back up to allow them to launch while you got your truck ready. They could have been launched by the time you were ready. If I were there I'm pretty sure you would be swimming
I agree with Mr tbowow. Accept the swimming part. You were rude. Must have got to much sun that day. When you see somebody is trying to put in drop your buddy off to get the boat. I call people like that. Tour-ons Tourist acting like morons.
He was not ready until he seen me at the dock. Was also not ready after I pulled out of water. I could not drop partner off. I highly doubt you would toss me in the water. But thanks for your input
@@Baitmakerz So your partner cant drive a boat onto a trailer and he can't back a trailer...too scairt to document that on his camera obviously. I HATE lake lice wave runner dudes but you were VERY clearly in the wrong...Looks like maybe you were just fishin' for content.
@@Baitmakerz I still can't understand why you couldn't drop your partner off, or tie off at the end of the dock. Still 5 minutes isn't worth getting bent out of shape over.
If I was the bass boat I would have dropped my buddy at the dock and backed out to wait my turn. If I was the jet ski I would have backed down that ramp and took my turn. Come on boys. It ain't always about you.
They should have waited for the jet ski to launch; or tied up their boat at the very end of the dock to give them room to launch -- and waited. Rude is rude.
@@Baitmakerz The jet skis were far more ready than the boat. Both people were still on the boat, so the truck and trailer were still parked. The people on the jet ski were going to start backing down the ramp. It was a dock move, and so is siding with the guy on the boat!
@@dodgeguyz if you would have watched the entire video you would see the “other boat they had to wait for” was up top cleaning his boat. If they had to wait for the other boat they would have backed down immediately after he pulled out. So NO the ski was not ready before, during, or even after the red boat pulled out. So side however you choose but the boat was right the ski was wrong
@@dodgeguyz They were sitting in the parking lot while the boat was coming into the dock, it looked like they tried to hurry to get in before the boat came in. I would have made them wait as well.
@@werberderber6209 You have to watch the video. Just because the jetskis weren’t hurrying to back down the ramp doesn’t mean they were ready! Since they pulled a dick move I would have let them wait for me! And many others agree as well. These fisherman think it’s all about them!
You were 100% the person with the bad etiquette. He was ready to back down and you docked anyhow, then told him to kick rocks. You saw him ready to back down long before you tied off.
He was not ready. He watched us idle all the way there. He was not ready during us taking out. He was not ready after we pulled out. He was also not ready after the "other" boat that we never seen pull out that they claimed they had to wait for either. But thanks for your input.
You have 2 people in the boat, you drop one guy off and the other backs the boat out , the other people launch and by the time they are done you will be able to pull your boat out. That’s the correct etiquette
So the kayak is also ramp blocking? There was plenty of room to drop the ski in front of the boat. If that ski was ready they would not have been waiting for 2 boats to pull out of the left ramp
I would have backed my jet skis straight down that ramp forcing you to move and wait your turn. You were in the wrong and luckily that guy was patient with you thinking perhaps you were a new boater. Read the comments here, or a simple Google read. Unload the truck driver and leave the courtesy ramp till he has your trailer in the water for pickup. The only way this would be different is if you were driving the boat by yourself and you do not block the lane. *** "The first approach to the ramp area should simply be to drop off the tow vehicle driver and passengers at the dock, idling back out into clear waters to await the arrival of your trailer. Unless the ramp is quiet, don’t be tempted to unload gear; you’ll just slow others from getting into position." Boating is based on simple rules to follow. Etiquette is a relative term, but you used Poor Form. Most states that require a boater education course states that- "When retrieving, do not pull your vessel into a launch lane until the towing vehicle is at the launch ramp. The line is formed by vehicles with trailers, not by vessels in the water."
Cannot drop off the other boater. There is literally no where to put a boat at this ramp until you are ready to load/unload. Half the year the small dock is under water. Half the year you can literally park your truck/trailer at the bottom of the ramp to the side. He 100% could have still put in but chose not to. He was not ready to unload, but we were ready to load. The other lane was blocked by trees when we put in. If he was not standing by the ski as we approached we would have waited. He jumped in when we were 20 foot from dock to move. Thanks for your input .
I disagree. They watched us coming for a while. Still weren’t ready to move until we were at the dock. If they had been in the suv moving before we hit the no wake I 100% would have waited. But thanks for your opinion on it
What's wrong with your fishing partner that he couldn't either back the trailer down or load the boat? Two men in a boat I would ease up to the dock and let my partner out while I float/move away from the dock and wait on the trailer to be backed in. This would allow the other vehicle to backdown and unload his ski.
@@Baitmakerz Have a 21 foot Cuddy and launch it in the river. Thats means current. The last thing I'm gonna do is drop my first mate off at the dock and pull away , so I can re-approach the dock by myself ? Nope, that's not how it works. I think most of these commenters don't have a boat.
@@bennymae1You aren’t able to approach the dock alone while dealing with current? The comment was to drop off partner, back out, wait for trailer, then load. Why would you need to approach dock a 2nd time? I’d suggest just fish in a lake with no current until you learn how to captain a boat.
Bad on bass boat for occupying ramp while driver went to get truck. Bass boat should have dropped of driver then backed up and opened the ramp for others then when ramp was clear put the trailer in the water and loaded boat. shows bad attitude saying, "they can wait".
Why did you ask the question if your not willing to accept the overwhelming answer. “You were in the wrong” There were many things you could’ve done obviously, 1. Drop someone off to retrieve the truck get in line like everybody else. 2. Tie up at the end of the pier, giving the full access to the ramp to someone. 3. Sit out in the lake until the other person is ready once you realize they are wanting to come down the ramp. You asked the etiquette question you were in the wrong.
Thanks for your input. Have already stated numerous times why I had to do it like that. They were given option to drop in front but declined. I was fast and efficient. They should have been down that ramp already since they claimed they waited on last guy. Once they did go down the ramp they tied it up for 30 minutes. I typically do drop off at ramp then load. I could not with this partner that day. I’m also not going to deny him the opportunity to fish like others have stated. I appreciate all of your insight though.
I see you have posted many reasons why you did what you did. However, it doesn’t change the fact of what boat ramp etiquette is. You also could’ve tied up behind the kayak, knowing he was pulling out, and therefore, then either moved around to the other side when you had your trailer in or waited for him to leave either way, the question of etiquette is you were in the wrong.
@@CaptainRobFerris there was debris(logs) on right side ramp it was more narrower. Ski could fit there but not a boat. They seen us coming in for a good 90seconds standing at their trailer. I idled till I was 6 feet from the ramp when they decided they were ready. I was quick to load . They were slow to unload. If they had not been standing by the trailer I would have sat and waited. People also pull to that spot after they pull out to finish their stuff before going home. Winds that day were 22-29mph there was white caps on main lake. This was a protected cove. In my mind why would you go out on a day like that with a jet ski. So obviously my thoughts process makes me think. People also pull right there when they didn’t load correctly in the first place and going to splash it again to try. Also if I knew we wouldn’t have the boat out in under 3 mins I would 100% have waited. The camera takes away the depth in this situation. I offered to let them go in front off to the side but they didn’t want to because they wanted to tie off. I think I made the best choice and in this situation would do the same thing again. Other situations probably not.
I do appreciate your respectful thought out comments. Most people just want to watch sixty seconds of the clip and start bashing. I read all of your's. Hope you have a great day!
Bottom line is you cut in line. Captain Rob is correct. I had a similar situation with a boat last year. I was in the lane and was ready to back in. The game warden wanted to do a boat check. He did and then I proceeded to back up. Another boat came in like you did. The other guy ran to his truck to get get backed in. I continued to back down the ramp. The game warden saw what was happening and had to move the other boat to the other side. Those two guys were clueless. I don’t think they want anything to do with the game warden. I’m kinda surprised you put this on RUclips since you were rude and give other Bass boat people a bad name. That’s why they think everyone with a bass boat is an Ahole. Among other reasons. Like fishing like they own the lake. Just a few give everyone a bad name. Get over yourself.
Totally your fault dude, you apparently dont do this much but if you have a partner with you drop him at the dock to get the truck. Just how its done but your rudeness is typical for the way society is these days
Thanks for your input. Was not able to do that. So we were ready and they were not. Not going to sit there waiting for 30 minutes when we were ready first and took 2 minutes.
@@Baitmakerz If you were ready the trailer would’ve been in the water. The fact that the truck and trailer were still parked shows the type of boater you are!
@@dodgeguyz your opinion is your opinion. You’ve already said your opinion. You can think however you want but you can’t judge me because you don’t know me. Have a nice day
they where in line to back their trailer in first you didn't have your truck even fired up. so they should have been next you could have pulled your boat on the right side and loaded right after that dude did
Sitting near the ramp playing with your ski watching another boat idle all the way in is not being ready. All the boats line up there in order to get ready to launch. Its not the line of vehicles ready and waiting to launch
Again as said numerous times that was not an option. The jerk is the one claiming they’ve been waiting when the ramp was empty. They watched us coming in for a good 3 minutes still standing at their trailer. Ramp was free when we committed and they can just wait plain and simple. They took 30 minutes for the two of them to unload a jet ski. I guess you would not have minded waiting for them. The other ramp is narrow due to debris which they could have easily gotten their little trailer into. Regardless we all have our own opinions and you’re welcome to voice yours. I do not delete comments. Hope you have a great day
Boat was at fault and even more inconsiderate for asking viewers opinions. You should have at least apologized and said sorry I thought you were not ready!
Just because you didn't hear it does not mean it didn't happen, mic range was lost. But I still feel they were not ready before, during , or after us pulling out. I feel inconsiderate is watching us go through no wake zone and not showing you were going to back in until we were three foot from the dock. The other boat they claimed they had to wait on was literally cleaning his boat, so they were obviously not ready to put in after he pulled out either.
Exact reason i dont fish a few lakes around town. 1 ramp. And everyones an asshole to save 5 min of there own time , they typically suck at lauchinh and loading as well
Yep. You acted like a jerk. Two guys in your boat. Drop one off on the dock to back the trailer in while the other guys backs up the boat in the lake. This shouldn't have to be explained, but thats the world we live in.
No the world we live in isn’t just how you live in yours. There’s a reason it was not done like that. Side with the ski if you choose but obviously did not watch entire video. If the ski had waited on the last boat they should already have the ski in the water and the trailer parked. They were not ready period. They can wait
The right ramp is usually blocked with debris. When we launched there was two logs blocking the entire ramp. Alot of times the dock is stuck underwater from the log jambs. But great idea one in and one out
No he is not, but I'm not going to tell him He can't go fishing like some of the other comments say. Everyone deserves to be able to fish. Same with the jet ski, but we were out of the water in two minutes. They held that lane up for 30 minutes once they got in there
you are 100% in the wrong. you should have either just waited (what's the hurry??) when you saw him moving into position or not tied up. Just get out, have your buddy back up the boat while you get ready. This is exactly what backs up boat ramps. Inpatient people.
@@mfgfan1 not at all. I was ready and they were not. They watched me come in for 1/3 of a mile and still was not ready even though they said they waited on the bass boat before us. 100% in the right
Etiquette dictates that vehicles and not boats in the water have the right of way on the ramp. If the boat ramp does not have a courtesy dock, and the people launching or retrieving the boat do not have a driver and a boat operator, they should not use that ramp and find a ramp that has a courtesy dock. You were in the wrong here and are what is known as a ramp blocker. However in your defense, most people will make excuses to justify blocking the ramp.
Well I’ve been told several times on here to find a new partner. But if the guy loves to fish I’m not going to deny taking him. I don’t feel I was wrong though. They would have been down the ramp already if they had to wait on the last boat that pulled out, like they said. The video is sped up at beginning they watched us for a while without moving. We were out in 4 mins including talking to them. They were still blocking that ramp when we left. I can’t remember but I think the kayak was still in other ramp before we left because he didn’t drive by us. It’s kind of common for people to pull out and drive the loop back to park there to get their boat tied down and trash out as it’s the only trash can at the ramp. If you look at the trees the wind was bad and this ramp is in a protective cove. Whitecaps on main lake. So seeing all that and then watching us I assumed they were packing up for the day. But thank you for the view and your comments!
I wouldn’t have moved. I would have fished at the dock until dark.But thanks for your input. They never waited on the first guy or they would have been down the ramp already.
Another bass boat Karen. I agree that seadoo wasn't ready to launch, but it wasn't enough of an issue to post a video about. Its always the bass boats.
Typically this is a very slow ramp. Maybe average 7 boats per weekend day for the year. So not a real big deal. It's way back in the middle of nowhere. The pontoons seem to have trouble loading here as well. This is a highland reservoir so come winter the waters about 40 foot down. Makes for a very long steep ramp hike. There's usually about 2-3 parking spots at the bottom of the ramp when it's that low. Just a little tid bit about the ramp. Not your typical heavy traffic, pretty steady water elevation ramp.
I mean, it's a jet ski they could have put in to the left of you with somebody on the ski. Laounched then, after you pulled out, then pulled unto the dock and picked up the other person.
We rarely have issues with kayakers being in the way. But I have been tied up to the dock and kayakers back down and block me and take 15 minutes to put two in. Most people around here are pretty respectful. I think its the visitors that maybe just don't know how things work
Yes, I saw he was goofing around not paying attention to you coming in. And realized he took too long. A compromise from both parties. You are on a boat on on a street. There is a lack of common courtesy. From both parties. " They can wait" Is selfish. Them goofing around on a ramp is selfish . The fact that a video has to be posted and ask who's in the wrong. Defines the boat life pettyness . 🤙 No worries no rush,,, is the true boat life. And what it's about. I hope both parties find it some day. 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
If they were sitting in truck ready to go we would not have even approached the ramp. The fact they tried once we committed well they were not ready. The woman also told us they just had to wait for the boat before, which we never seen loading. That tells me even though they said they had to wait on the other boat that they were not ready then either. I am typically a courteous boater and I'll wait my turn no problem. But don't come in after I've commited and try to get in. I gave them the option to still put in with the boat there there was plenty of room they chose not to. I even though did not feel wrong apologized to them and said I will only be a minute. I feel I was right. After pulling out the fact they still were not backing down the ramp at that moment tells me they still were not ready.
It's first come first serve. If he was ready to launch, he would've had the trailer backing up into the water before the boat pulled up to the dock. If I saw a trailer backing down into the water, I would sit and wait till the dock was clear. If the dock is clear, it is first come first serve. As it was, the boat retrieval was very fast and efficient. I've seen many take a lot longer just to line up the trailer.
6:30 answers it all.... If bass boat had waited for the ski's he would have been there another twenty minutes. Bass boat was ready to load. He was quick and efficient no foul, no harm. You should have documented the skis back in and unload. Would have been interesting to see how quick and efficient they were.......⌛️🤷♂️
I should have took video of them. I honestly decided to make this into a video when I was going through footage for another. So kind of an afterthought
I almost hate to comment...but it helps the algorithm. YOU were the @$$. Either wait or have your partner back away from the dock. If that was me backing down...it would not have been a stare down
Yea this ramp is a good 25mins out of the way for most people. Besides about two months out of the year you might see a dozen trailers in the parking lot. But several people said theirs is set up with a drop in and pull out lane. I like that idea. About 30% of the year there’s floating debris blocking the right lane just seems to be where the current takes it. Wish we had some sponsored lake clean up days
I read someone saying " first come first serve. Common sense courtesy. So, you and your friend walk into a grocery store. You see the lines are long. One of you grabs a cart and stands in line with an empty cart. While your buddy goes grocery shopping and grabs an arm full of stuff. Then finds his buddy in line with the empty cart and fills it up. In front of other people behind his buddy. First come first serve???
They was in the wrong. They were still getting ready when you pulled up to the dock, and even after you were done with your boat, they still haven’t put in. I hate it when people do stupid crap like that. I hate jet skies anyway, about as much as wake boats
@@egomaniac247 Just because I asked doesn’t mean I have to agree. I don’t follow a crowd. I stand up for what I believe in. I believe I was right then and I still believe im right about it now. If they were ready they would not have been standing there. I appreciate your interaction though
Thanks. Like I said I could not do it with my partner. And we were out in under 4mins. They were both still blocking when we left. I do understand how people can come to a quick conclusion just based on how it came across in the video. Regardless thank you for your input
You had bad etiquette. One of you should have gone and gotten the truck while the other waits with the boat in the cove. When the trailer is in the water, motor up and trailer the boat. This results in min time on the ramp keeping it available for others to use.
He can’t back a trailer and never ran a boat. I’ve had another one someone totaled of mine. Unless you know what your doing your not running my stuff. But the jet ski was the same way. They dropped tied off, parked, went back. This ramp is typically not busy at all maybe average 7 boats on a weekend day overall. Usually no problem here. Not going to not let him come fish like some other commenters said. When I’m out with other people we do the drop and load method.
I'm with the bass boat on this one, now if they were starting to back down then I would say the bass boat would have to wait. the bass boat will trailer their boat a lot faster than the jet skiers can unload and clear the dock.
Thanks for your opinion. Apparently everyone on here disagrees with me. But it is what it is. I was nice to them even though the mic didn’t pick it up. I don’t hold grudges and if they would have asked me for help unloading I still would have helped. But apparently on RUclips I’m a horrible boater 🤣
I would say shit or get off the pot u had plenty of time to back a little jet ski in the water when you saw him coming up on the no wake zone! Quit hugging your boyfriend and you would have had plenty of time to unload.!
@@DIRTYBIRDYBEATS I know how a boat ramp works, I have a boat and jet ski's both, the boater did nothing wrong. Now if the jet skiers was already looking like they were going to back down than I would have a different opinion of the situation. The boater was coming into the dock while the jet skier was sitting off to the side at the top, boat ramp courtesy goes both ways, in this case the I would have done what the boater did, why should I have to wait out in the water waiting for the jet skier to make a decision. I will stick by my initial assessment.
This was my exact thoughts as well. If they were not standing at the trailer the entire time I idled up I would 100% have waited on them or the kayak guy to load. Alot of people take things out of context on here. But I'm a pretty nice guy. Thank you for your comments!
@@deborahcincotta6931 I appreciate your input. They held the ramp up for over 30 minutes after we pulled out. They also could have used the other ramp that the boats could not use due to debris blocking some of it. I’m not arguing and I’m really grateful of the input.
Thanks for your input. I did not come in fast the video was sped up they seen me coming for a 1/3 of a mile. Plain and simple I was ready for the ramp and they were not. Would be like a car in a parking lot sitting in the aisle of spot standing behind their car and you go to turn into the spot since no one is there and then they try to pull up and take it. I had to tie up in this situation could not drop partner off. So it is what it is. Have a great Father’s Day weekend
Sorry Commenters. First come first served. Boat ramp empty, nobody lined up to use it, its MINE. Im not a mind reader . Dont know and dont care what you are doing up there in the parking lot.
This. If they where lining the trailer up instead of jaw jacking it wouldn't have been nothing. Truth is they weren't in no hurry till they saw the bass boat show up, then suddenly he took "their" spot. get the lead out.
... This is funny, You state, copied from your text below the video, ..... "Please comment who had the bad etiquette. Constructive criticism welcome. ....." . Then when you receive the, "Constructive criticism", the viewers opinions that YOU asked for, you double down and tell the people commenting that THEY are ALSO wrong making YOU look even more foolish. You would have come out much better if you didn't reply to the comments at all or just said, "Thank you, I appreciate your opinion." .
Just because you may have read my responses out of context does not mean I’m arguing with anyone. They state their opinion based off a 90 second view. And I state mine. No arguments. I do want constructive criticism but will not put up with people name calling and bad mouthing. Situation is what it is. I read every comment. You can hate it or love it as long as your respectful your comment is up. Regardless thanks for your input
Just like trail riding in a Jeep. Uphill usually has the right of way. No body at fault but the Ski should have waited without getting bent over it. I would have dropped my driver at the end of the dock to get the truck and let the Ski make a fast launch, hopefully. But you were already at the dock before they were moving their truck, Not like the ramp was super busy, I have seen a lot worse. It took you like just 5 minutes to clear the ramp, It probably took you less time to haul out than for him to put in and clear the dock. That is why haul out should have priority.
@@Baitmakerz I go alone a lot and have been in similar situations. Tellico can be real busy and the ramps are not always in the best of shape. I always try to tie up out of the way but sometimes that is impossible.
@@DraggonCanoe yea this is a highland reservoir the banks are all steep with sharp drop offs and rocky. I feel I did nothing wrong even though most people say I did. Winds this day were 15-28mph why stuff was blown into the corner of the ramp. Even though my mic didn’t pickup I was very nice to the couple. We were in and out quick. They still hadn’t even got the ski off by the time we left for home. Just can’t please everyone. I’m not that far from Tellico I’d love to see a video of it from you.
@@Baitmakerz I have been on most lakes in south west N.C. They are not like most lakes. Chilhowee is a lot like Santeetlah and Hiwassee and we hit it a lot. A totally different lake than Tellico/Ft Loudon or Watts Bar. I am working on getting a computer that is able to do videos so I can start posting. I have quite a few videos of the ramps and their condition of Tellico so far. Just waiting to build the funds for a real computer, lol.
@@DraggonCanoe I hear you. Graphics cards are crazy right now. I fish everything in western NC. All the North Georgia lakes. And East Tennessee. If you ever see me come on over
This ramp its the first time I ever seen a jet ski put in. Its usually the pontoons, but they are kinda pain to load so I don't pay them much attention.
At fault for what ? If you aren't ready and backing towards the ramp you aren't ready period. One thing I've learned owning a boat for 35 years is that jet skis, kayaks and ski boaters are typically unprepared clowns at the ramp. They think the ramp is for getting ready on and then launching after checking everything.
So the truck should have waited for someone who had been standing next to the ski that was not ready? First come first serve. They also said they waited on the boat prior to that. Which had been out of the water for some time. Jet ski was the rude one
@DIRTYBIRDYBEATS being there and being ready is two different things. I don’t need to reply to ten of your comments. So thanks for watching. 100% was not in the wrong. Takes a real man to stand up for what he believes in. Have a good one
There are several issues here. First; jet skier is not a boat and the operator is not a boater and should not be using a ramp designed for boats. Second; kayak is not a boat and the operator is a fisherman...also not a boater and knows nothing about proper boat operation or boating etiquette and should not be using a ramp for boats and third; bass boat is being operated by a fisherman who knows nothing about proper boat operation or boating etiquette and should not be allowed to use a ramp designed for people who know and practice proper boating procedures..
I disagree with you on all three actually. A public boat ramp is just that made for any and everything. Pontoon, wakeboat, jet ski, canoe doesn't really matter its public access. There is 3 public ramps on this lake and no matter which one you goto its atleast 30 minute drive. There is no "beachy area" so the ramps have to be used. I'm unsure how you think the boater knows nothing of proper boat operation. But everyone has their opinion. I appreciate yours.
No you saw him getting ready, he was just about to line up and you kept coming. Why didn't you drop your partner off on the dock and back up to allow them to launch while you got your truck ready. They could have been launched by the time you were ready. If I were there I'm pretty sure you would be swimming
I agree with Mr tbowow.
Accept the swimming part. You were rude.
Must have got to much sun that day.
When you see somebody is trying to put in drop your buddy off to get the boat.
I call people like that. Tour-ons
Tourist acting like morons.
He was not ready until he seen me at the dock. Was also not ready after I pulled out of water. I could not drop partner off. I highly doubt you would toss me in the water. But thanks for your input
@@Baitmakerz So your partner cant drive a boat onto a trailer and he can't back a trailer...too scairt to document that on his camera obviously. I HATE lake lice wave runner dudes but you were VERY clearly in the wrong...Looks like maybe you were just fishin' for content.
@@scottgastony4544 that’s your opinion. Thanks for your input. I wasn’t in the wrong at all, but have a great day
@@Baitmakerz I still can't understand why you couldn't drop your partner off, or tie off at the end of the dock. Still 5 minutes isn't worth getting bent out of shape over.
If I was the bass boat I would have dropped my buddy at the dock and backed out to wait my turn. If I was the jet ski I would have backed down that ramp and took my turn. Come on boys. It ain't always about you.
They should have waited for the jet ski to launch; or tied up their boat at the very end of the dock to give them room to launch -- and waited. Rude is rude.
Well Since your trailer wasn’t even ready, let the wave runners launch then get yours.
That was a dick move on your part!
Jet ski was not ready. So they can wait. Plain and simple
@@Baitmakerz
The jet skis were far more ready than the boat. Both people were still on the boat, so the truck and trailer were still parked. The people on the jet ski were going to start backing down the ramp.
It was a dock move, and so is siding with the guy on the boat!
@@dodgeguyz if you would have watched the entire video you would see the “other boat they had to wait for” was up top cleaning his boat.

So side however you choose but the boat was right the ski was wrong

You have to watch the video. Just because the jetskis weren’t hurrying to back down the ramp doesn’t mean they were ready!
Since they pulled a dick move I would have let them wait for me!
And many others agree as well.
These fisherman think it’s all about them!
Bass boat is wrong all day, every day, and twice on Sunday.
You were 100% the person with the bad etiquette. He was ready to back down and you docked anyhow, then told him to kick rocks. You saw him ready to back down long before you tied off.
He was not ready. He watched us idle all the way there. He was not ready during us taking out. He was not ready after we pulled out. He was also not ready after the "other" boat that we never seen pull out that they claimed they had to wait for either. But thanks for your input.
You have 2 people in the boat, you drop one guy off and the other backs the boat out , the other people launch and by the time they are done you will be able to pull your boat out. That’s the correct etiquette
I agree with you 100% but was not an option this particular time
@@Baitmakerz Why?
the red boat is at fault ...... ramp blocking
So the kayak is also ramp blocking? There was plenty of room to drop the ski in front of the boat. If that ski was ready they would not have been waiting for 2 boats to pull out of the left ramp
WHY WHY did you even post this???? YOU want to be right even if youare not.
I would have backed my jet skis straight down that ramp forcing you to move and wait your turn.
You were in the wrong and luckily that guy was patient with you thinking perhaps you were a new boater. Read the comments here, or a simple Google read. Unload the truck driver and leave the courtesy ramp till he has your trailer in the water for pickup.
The only way this would be different is if you were driving the boat by yourself and you do not block the lane.
*** "The first approach to the ramp area should simply be to drop off the tow vehicle driver and passengers at the dock, idling back out into clear waters to await the arrival of your trailer. Unless the ramp is quiet, don’t be tempted to unload gear; you’ll just slow others from getting into position."
Boating is based on simple rules to follow. Etiquette is a relative term, but you used Poor Form.
Most states that require a boater education course states that-
"When retrieving, do not pull your vessel into a launch lane until the towing vehicle is at the launch ramp. The line is formed by vehicles with trailers, not by vessels in the water."
Cannot drop off the other boater. There is literally no where to put a boat at this ramp until you are ready to load/unload. Half the year the small dock is under water. Half the year you can literally park your truck/trailer at the bottom of the ramp to the side. He 100% could have still put in but chose not to. He was not ready to unload, but we were ready to load. The other lane was blocked by trees when we put in. If he was not standing by the ski as we approached we would have waited. He jumped in when we were 20 foot from dock to move. Thanks for your input .
Bass boat is wrong. I would back down and wait until he moved his boat!
I would leave my boat at the dock until until the jet skiers moved, call the cops if you don't like it.
At 4:10 would be the time to pull down and wait for silver truck to pull out.
You should have waited. You saw them. But what do you expect praise. TWINKIES
I disagree. They watched us coming for a while. Still weren’t ready to move until we were at the dock. If they had been in the suv moving before we hit the no wake I 100% would have waited. But thanks for your opinion on it
What's wrong with your fishing partner that he couldn't either back the trailer down or load the boat? Two men in a boat I would ease up to the dock and let my partner out while I float/move away from the dock and wait on the trailer to be backed in. This would allow the other vehicle to backdown and unload his ski.
I agree this is how it should be done.
You were right !YOU were rude! You could have let your partner off and waited.
Not an option but thanks for your input
Never seen anybody do that.
Its actually done alot around here like that. But I was not able to do that on this day
@@Baitmakerz Have a 21 foot Cuddy and launch it in the river. Thats means current. The last thing I'm gonna do is drop my first mate off at the dock and pull away , so I can re-approach the dock by myself ? Nope, that's not how it works. I think most of these commenters don't have a boat.
@@bennymae1You aren’t able to approach the dock alone while dealing with current? The comment was to drop off partner, back out, wait for trailer, then load. Why would you need to approach dock a 2nd time? I’d suggest just fish in a lake with no current until you learn how to captain a boat.
It’s not like you don’t know the difference between right and wrong you’re older than five
Thanks for your opinion.
Bad on bass boat for occupying ramp while driver went to get truck. Bass boat should have dropped of driver then backed up and opened the ramp for others then when ramp was clear put the trailer in the water and loaded boat.
shows bad attitude saying, "they can wait".
Why did you ask the question if your not willing to accept the overwhelming answer.
“You were in the wrong”
There were many things you could’ve done obviously,
1. Drop someone off to retrieve the truck get in line like everybody else.
2. Tie up at the end of the pier, giving the full access to the ramp to someone.
3. Sit out in the lake until the other person is ready once you realize they are wanting to come down the ramp.
You asked the etiquette question you were in the wrong.
Thanks for your input. Have already stated numerous times why I had to do it like that. They were given option to drop in front but declined. I was fast and efficient. They should have been down that ramp already since they claimed they waited on last guy. Once they did go down the ramp they tied it up for 30 minutes. I typically do drop off at ramp then load. I could not with this partner that day. I’m also not going to deny him the opportunity to fish like others have stated. I appreciate all of your insight though.
I see you have posted many reasons why you did what you did. However, it doesn’t change the fact of what boat ramp etiquette is. You also could’ve tied up behind the kayak, knowing he was pulling out, and therefore, then either moved around to the other side when you had your trailer in or waited for him to leave either way, the question of etiquette is you were in the wrong.
@@CaptainRobFerris there was debris(logs) on right side ramp it was more narrower. Ski could fit there but not a boat. They seen us coming in for a good 90seconds standing at their trailer. I idled till I was 6 feet from the ramp when they decided they were ready. I was quick to load . They were slow to unload. If they had not been standing by the trailer I would have sat and waited. People also pull to that spot after they pull out to finish their stuff before going home. Winds that day were 22-29mph there was white caps on main lake. This was a protected cove. In my mind why would you go out on a day like that with a jet ski. So obviously my thoughts process makes me think. People also pull right there when they didn’t load correctly in the first place and going to splash it again to try. Also if I knew we wouldn’t have the boat out in under 3 mins I would 100% have waited. The camera takes away the depth in this situation. I offered to let them go in front off to the side but they didn’t want to because they wanted to tie off. I think I made the best choice and in this situation would do the same thing again. Other situations probably not.
I do appreciate your respectful thought out comments. Most people just want to watch sixty seconds of the clip and start bashing. I read all of your's. Hope you have a great day!
Bottom line is you cut in line. Captain Rob is correct.
I had a similar situation with a boat last year. I was in the lane and was ready to back in. The game warden wanted to do a boat check. He did and then I proceeded to back up. Another boat came in like you did. The other guy ran to his truck to get get backed in. I continued to back down the ramp. The game warden saw what was happening and had to move the other boat to the other side. Those two guys were clueless. I don’t think they want anything to do with the game warden.
I’m kinda surprised you put this on RUclips since you were rude and give other Bass boat people a bad name. That’s why they think everyone with a bass boat is an Ahole. Among other reasons. Like fishing like they own the lake. Just a few give everyone a bad name.
Get over yourself.
yaeh , Id say bad move on the boaters . Theres two grown men in the boat , you didnt need to lock up the boat ramp
There is reasons we had to do that
Totally your fault dude, you apparently dont do this much but if you have a partner with you drop him at the dock to get the truck. Just how its done but your rudeness is typical for the way society is these days
Thanks for your input. Was not able to do that. So we were ready and they were not. Not going to sit there waiting for 30 minutes when we were ready first and took 2 minutes.
@@Baitmakerz
If you were ready the trailer would’ve been in the water. The fact that the truck and trailer were still parked shows the type of boater you are!
@@dodgeguyz your opinion is your opinion. You’ve already said your opinion. You can think however you want but you can’t judge me because you don’t know me. Have a nice day
It's not just the way society is these days, it's the way fishermen think all of the time!
You were at fault..should have stayed out until he pulled boat out
they where in line to back their trailer in first you didn't have your truck even fired up. so they should have been next you could have pulled your boat on the right side and loaded right after that dude did
Sitting near the ramp playing with your ski watching another boat idle all the way in is not being ready. All the boats line up there in order to get ready to launch. Its not the line of vehicles ready and waiting to launch
The red boat could of dropped his guy off and let the other guy pull up geez what a jerk 😱😱
Again as said numerous times that was not an option. The jerk is the one claiming they’ve been waiting when the ramp was empty. They watched us coming in for a good 3 minutes still standing at their trailer. Ramp was free when we committed and they can just wait plain and simple. They took 30 minutes for the two of them to unload a jet ski. I guess you would not have minded waiting for them. The other ramp is narrow due to debris which they could have easily gotten their little trailer into. Regardless we all have our own opinions and you’re welcome to voice yours. I do not delete comments. Hope you have a great day
Boat was at fault and even more inconsiderate for asking viewers opinions. You should have at least apologized and said sorry I thought you were not ready!
Just because you didn't hear it does not mean it didn't happen, mic range was lost. But I still feel they were not ready before, during , or after us pulling out. I feel inconsiderate is watching us go through no wake zone and not showing you were going to back in until we were three foot from the dock. The other boat they claimed they had to wait on was literally cleaning his boat, so they were obviously not ready to put in after he pulled out either.
Exact reason i dont fish a few lakes around town. 1 ramp. And everyones an asshole to save 5 min of there own time , they typically suck at lauchinh and loading as well
Glitter fruit boats usually come with bad attitude captains. Suprised he didn't pull up on the kayak guy.
Yep. You acted like a jerk.
Two guys in your boat. Drop one off on the dock to back the trailer in while the other guys backs up the boat in the lake.
This shouldn't have to be explained, but thats the world we live in.
No the world we live in isn’t just how you live in yours. There’s a reason it was not done like that. Side with the ski if you choose but obviously did not watch entire video. If the ski had waited on the last boat they should already have the ski in the water and the trailer parked. They were not ready period. They can wait
Every boat launch I use with multilpe ramps, half are dedicated to launch and half are dedicated to retrieve. Solves a lot of issues.
The right ramp is usually blocked with debris. When we launched there was two logs blocking the entire ramp. Alot of times the dock is stuck underwater from the log jambs. But great idea one in and one out
Ya should have waited and is your partner not capable of driving the truck?
No he is not, but I'm not going to tell him He can't go fishing like some of the other comments say. Everyone deserves to be able to fish. Same with the jet ski, but we were out of the water in two minutes. They held that lane up for 30 minutes once they got in there
you are 100% in the wrong. you should have either just waited (what's the hurry??) when you saw him moving into position or not tied up. Just get out, have your buddy back up the boat while you get ready. This is exactly what backs up boat ramps. Inpatient people.
Was not an option but thanks for your input. I have no doubt we were not in the wrong
@@Baitmakerz There is no doubt YOU were definitely in the wrong
@@mfgfan1 not at all. I was ready and they were not. They watched me come in for 1/3 of a mile and still was not ready even though they said they waited on the bass boat before us. 100% in the right
Etiquette dictates that vehicles and not boats in the water have the right of way on the ramp. If the boat ramp does not have a courtesy dock, and the people launching or retrieving the boat do not have a driver and a boat operator, they should not use that ramp and find a ramp that has a courtesy dock. You were in the wrong here and are what is known as a ramp blocker. However in your defense, most people will make excuses to justify blocking the ramp.
There is only two public ramps with a dock at this Lake and the dock is the same size at each. But thanks for your input
Not launch because a person is solo???
That makes no sense
Well I’ve been told several times on here to find a new partner. But if the guy loves to fish I’m not going to deny taking him. I don’t feel I was wrong though. They would have been down the ramp already if they had to wait on the last boat that pulled out, like they said. The video is sped up at beginning they watched us for a while without moving. We were out in 4 mins including talking to them. They were still blocking that ramp when we left. I can’t remember but I think the kayak was still in other ramp before we left because he didn’t drive by us. It’s kind of common for people to pull out and drive the loop back to park there to get their boat tied down and trash out as it’s the only trash can at the ramp. If you look at the trees the wind was bad and this ramp is in a protective cove. Whitecaps on main lake. So seeing all that and then watching us I assumed they were packing up for the day. But thank you for the view and your comments!
You sound like someone took your paccie.
That was ignorant on your part, plain & simple...I would have backed down the ramp with my jet ski & made you wait
I wouldn’t have moved. I would have fished at the dock until dark.But thanks for your input. They never waited on the first guy or they would have been down the ramp already.
I would have pulled the boat up further and sat there. I believe it is called a Mexican standoff
@@werberderber6209 🤣🤣 your definitely my type of people
A wrong doesn't make it right... 😢
Like the humming.
Sorry move on your part, buddy.
I don't think so at all. But everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Thanks for watching
Another bass boat Karen. I agree that seadoo wasn't ready to launch, but it wasn't enough of an issue to post a video about. Its always the bass boats.
Ain’t no Karen around here. It wasn't really a big deal. I was nice to them. They were still mad.
Who's at fault?
Wanna talk about the no wake violation?
There was no wake after the no wake zone
In a normal situation a vessel being retrieved gets priority over one being launched.
In this case its first come first served.
I've run into this myself but why does it take so long to load a kayak, tying up a ramp.
Typically this is a very slow ramp. Maybe average 7 boats per weekend day for the year. So not a real big deal. It's way back in the middle of nowhere. The pontoons seem to have trouble loading here as well. This is a highland reservoir so come winter the waters about 40 foot down. Makes for a very long steep ramp hike. There's usually about 2-3 parking spots at the bottom of the ramp when it's that low. Just a little tid bit about the ramp. Not your typical heavy traffic, pretty steady water elevation ramp.
I won't say who is right or wrong but I would say I would of waited,but that's just me lol
I appreciate your opinion
I mean, it's a jet ski they could have put in to the left of you with somebody on the ski. Laounched then, after you pulled out, then pulled unto the dock and picked up the other person.
It only took one minute to figure out who’s at fault.
God dang kayaks need to be banned from ramps. Those asses take their sweet ass time!!
LOL I think the kayaker actually cleared that ramp for everyone. When we launched there was two logs blocking that entire side
lol I launch my kayaks from the beach, but you have convinced me the launches are more entertaining.
@@josekanucee1428 😳😳🫣🤯
We rarely have issues with kayakers being in the way. But I have been tied up to the dock and kayakers back down and block me and take 15 minutes to put two in. Most people around here are pretty respectful. I think its the visitors that maybe just don't know how things work
Yes, I saw he was goofing around not paying attention to you coming in.
And realized he took too long.
A compromise from both parties.
You are on a boat on on a street. There is a lack of common courtesy. From both parties.
" They can wait"
Is selfish.
Them goofing around on a ramp is selfish .
The fact that a video has to be posted and ask who's in the wrong. Defines the boat life pettyness .
🤙 No worries no rush,,,
is the true boat life.
And what it's about.
I hope both parties find it some day.
🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
If they were sitting in truck ready to go we would not have even approached the ramp. The fact they tried once we committed well they were not ready. The woman also told us they just had to wait for the boat before, which we never seen loading. That tells me even though they said they had to wait on the other boat that they were not ready then either. I am typically a courteous boater and I'll wait my turn no problem. But don't come in after I've commited and try to get in. I gave them the option to still put in with the boat there there was plenty of room they chose not to. I even though did not feel wrong apologized to them and said I will only be a minute. I feel I was right. After pulling out the fact they still were not backing down the ramp at that moment tells me they still were not ready.
Only one can be selfish.
It's first come first serve. If he was ready to launch, he would've had the trailer backing up into the water before the boat pulled up to the dock. If I saw a trailer backing down into the water, I would sit and wait till the dock was clear. If the dock is clear, it is first come first serve.
As it was, the boat retrieval was very fast and efficient. I've seen many take a lot longer just to line up the trailer.
Thank you for your insight. Apparently we don’t think like the majority of the commenters here
They were not ready
6:30 answers it all.... If bass boat had waited for the ski's he would have been there another twenty minutes. Bass boat was ready to load. He was quick and efficient no foul, no harm.
You should have documented the skis back in and unload. Would have been interesting to see how quick and efficient they were.......⌛️🤷♂️
I should have took video of them. I honestly decided to make this into a video when I was going through footage for another. So kind of an afterthought
Drop partner off...get trailer...jet ski launches....you load right after....everything is not a battle.
Yes sir I agree. But I could not drop him off. I didn't really think much of it. Thank you for your comment.
I almost hate to comment...but it helps the algorithm.
YOU were the @$$.
Either wait or have your partner back away from the dock.
If that was me backing down...it would not have been a stare down
First come first serve. Usually there is a pick up lane and a drop off lane. Either way ramps can suck
Yea this ramp is a good 25mins out of the way for most people. Besides about two months out of the year you might see a dozen trailers in the parking lot. But several people said theirs is set up with a drop in and pull out lane. I like that idea. About 30% of the year there’s floating debris blocking the right lane just seems to be where the current takes it. Wish we had some sponsored lake clean up days
I read someone saying " first come first serve. Common sense courtesy.
So, you and your friend walk into a grocery store. You see the lines are long. One of you grabs a cart and stands in line with an empty cart. While your buddy goes grocery shopping and grabs an arm full of stuff. Then finds his buddy in line with the empty cart and fills it up. In front of other people behind his buddy.
First come first serve???
They was in the wrong. They were still getting ready when you pulled up to the dock, and even after you were done with your boat, they still haven’t put in. I hate it when people do stupid crap like that. I hate jet skies anyway, about as much as wake boats
@@jamesscroggins646 that’s what I thought as well. Thank you for your opinion
Two in the boat means you don't need to tie the boat up.
Just because there’s two does not mean one is capable. I do typically follow that rule as well. Thanks for your comment though.
Making your partner capable should be a priority before you have issues with someone that gets out of hand.
@@aaronwhittle5023 no sir. Life lessons have taught me better.
I like how the video is posted asking "who's at fault" and when literally every comment says you're at fault, you're still defending yourself lol
@@egomaniac247 Just because I asked doesn’t mean I have to agree. I don’t follow a crowd. I stand up for what I believe in. I believe I was right then and I still believe im right about it now. If they were ready they would not have been standing there. I appreciate your interaction though
You were 100% in the wrong for tying off your boat and blocking a ramp, especially when you weren’t even alone.
Thanks. Like I said I could not do it with my partner. And we were out in under 4mins. They were both still blocking when we left. I do understand how people can come to a quick conclusion just based on how it came across in the video. Regardless thank you for your input
Definitely Kyle's fault
You had bad etiquette. One of you should have gone and gotten the truck while the other waits with the boat in the cove. When the trailer is in the water, motor up and trailer the boat. This results in min time on the ramp keeping it available for others to use.
100% agree. But could not do that on this day. All depends on who you take fishing
WTH? Is the dude in the boat worthless or what? Can't run the boat or back the trailer?
I love fishing that lake. Caught a42 pound stripe there however, you handled this poorly.
@@steveclark5794 that’s a huge fish! I appreciate your comment
Why didn't you let😮 your friend get the trailer and you back out on water
You are the one blocking ramp
He can’t back a trailer and never ran a boat. I’ve had another one someone totaled of mine. Unless you know what your doing your not running my stuff. But the jet ski was the same way. They dropped tied off, parked, went back. This ramp is typically not busy at all maybe average 7 boats on a weekend day overall. Usually no problem here. Not going to not let him come fish like some other commenters said. When I’m out with other people we do the drop and load method.
I'm with the bass boat on this one, now if they were starting to back down then I would say the bass boat would have to wait. the bass boat will trailer their boat a lot faster than the jet skiers can unload and clear the dock.
Thanks for your opinion. Apparently everyone on here disagrees with me. But it is what it is. I was nice to them even though the mic didn’t pick it up. I don’t hold grudges and if they would have asked me for help unloading I still would have helped. But apparently on RUclips I’m a horrible boater 🤣
I would say shit or get off the pot u had plenty of time to back a little jet ski in the water when you saw him coming up on the no wake zone! Quit hugging your boyfriend and you would have had plenty of time to unload.!
I have come to conclude that there are a lot of jet skiers on here.
@@DIRTYBIRDYBEATS I know how a boat ramp works, I have a boat and jet ski's both, the boater did nothing wrong. Now if the jet skiers was already looking like they were going to back down than I would have a different opinion of the situation. The boater was coming into the dock while the jet skier was sitting off to the side at the top, boat ramp courtesy goes both ways, in this case the I would have done what the boater did, why should I have to wait out in the water waiting for the jet skier to make a decision. I will stick by my initial assessment.
This was my exact thoughts as well. If they were not standing at the trailer the entire time I idled up I would 100% have waited on them or the kayak guy to load. Alot of people take things out of context on here. But I'm a pretty nice guy. Thank you for your comments!
you should have backed up and lett them go they would have been out of your way in two seconds you didnt have to be in that big of a hurry to be first
@@deborahcincotta6931 I appreciate your input. They held the ramp up for over 30 minutes after we pulled out. They also could have used the other ramp that the boats could not use due to debris blocking some of it. I’m not arguing and I’m really grateful of the input.
Not cool to come in fast and then tie up, won't be subscribing to your channel
Thanks for your input. I did not come in fast the video was sped up they seen me coming for a 1/3 of a mile. Plain and simple I was ready for the ramp and they were not. Would be like a car in a parking lot sitting in the aisle of spot standing behind their car and you go to turn into the spot since no one is there and then they try to pull up and take it. I had to tie up in this situation could not drop partner off. So it is what it is. Have a great Father’s Day weekend
1000% Kyle's fault
Sorry Commenters. First come first served. Boat ramp empty, nobody lined up to use it, its MINE. Im not a mind reader . Dont know and dont care what you are doing up there in the parking lot.
Thank you! Glad to see there’s a few people that think like we do.
This. If they where lining the trailer up instead of jaw jacking it wouldn't have been nothing. Truth is they weren't in no hurry till they saw the bass boat show up, then suddenly he took "their" spot. get the lead out.
@@Baitmakerz Its an old story.... They go to Walmart and buy a $39.95 Boogie Board and think they own the river.
your fault %100.. drop you off and your buddy should back up the bass boat away from dock..
You were wrong on this one
Thank you sir I appreciate your comment
Silly entitled you tubers...hilarious. Gave a thumbs down for your bad entitled attitude. Being considerate of others goes a long way.
Just having common sense is all. Thanks for your interaction. Have a great day.
... This is funny, You state, copied from your text below the video,
..... "Please comment who had the bad etiquette.
Constructive criticism welcome. ....."
.
Then when you receive the, "Constructive criticism", the viewers opinions that YOU asked for, you double down and tell the people commenting that THEY are ALSO wrong making YOU look even more foolish.
You would have come out much better if you didn't reply to the comments at all or just said, "Thank you, I appreciate your opinion."
.
Just because you may have read my responses out of context does not mean I’m arguing with anyone. They state their opinion based off a 90 second view. And I state mine. No arguments. I do want constructive criticism but will not put up with people name calling and bad mouthing. Situation is what it is. I read every comment. You can hate it or love it as long as your respectful your comment is up. Regardless thanks for your input
Just like trail riding in a Jeep. Uphill usually has the right of way. No body at fault but the Ski should have waited without getting bent over it. I would have dropped my driver at the end of the dock to get the truck and let the Ski make a fast launch, hopefully. But you were already at the dock before they were moving their truck, Not like the ramp was super busy, I have seen a lot worse. It took you like just 5 minutes to clear the ramp, It probably took you less time to haul out than for him to put in and clear the dock. That is why haul out should have priority.
Thank you for your input. I usually do drop one at the ramp for the truck. Was not able to do that on this day :)
@@Baitmakerz I go alone a lot and have been in similar situations. Tellico can be real busy and the ramps are not always in the best of shape. I always try to tie up out of the way but sometimes that is impossible.
@@DraggonCanoe yea this is a highland reservoir the banks are all steep with sharp drop offs and rocky. I feel I did nothing wrong even though most people say I did. Winds this day were 15-28mph why stuff was blown into the corner of the ramp. Even though my mic didn’t pickup I was very nice to the couple. We were in and out quick. They still hadn’t even got the ski off by the time we left for home. Just can’t please everyone. I’m not that far from Tellico I’d love to see a video of it from you.
@@Baitmakerz I have been on most lakes in south west N.C. They are not like most lakes. Chilhowee is a lot like Santeetlah and Hiwassee and we hit it a lot.

I have quite a few videos of the ramps and their condition of Tellico so far. Just waiting to build the funds for a real computer, lol.
@@DraggonCanoe I hear you. Graphics cards are crazy right now. I fish everything in western NC. All the North Georgia lakes. And East Tennessee. If you ever see me come on over
The guy with the kayak could barely back his truck down the ramp without even having a trailer. The jet ski and kayak crowd are usually obnoxious.
This ramp its the first time I ever seen a jet ski put in. Its usually the pontoons, but they are kinda pain to load so I don't pay them much attention.
At fault for what ? If you aren't ready and backing towards the ramp you aren't ready period. One thing I've learned owning a boat for 35 years is that jet skis, kayaks and ski boaters are typically unprepared clowns at the ramp. They think the ramp is for getting ready on and then launching after checking everything.
I agree thanks for your input!
TRUCK WAS RUDE very rude
So the truck should have waited for someone who had been standing next to the ski that was not ready? First come first serve. They also said they waited on the boat prior to that. Which had been out of the water for some time. Jet ski was the rude one
@DIRTYBIRDYBEATS I’m not going to argue with you. Thanks for commenting. Have a great day
@DIRTYBIRDYBEATS being there and being ready is two different things. I don’t need to reply to ten of your comments. So thanks for watching. 100% was not in the wrong. Takes a real man to stand up for what he believes in. Have a good one
There are several issues here. First; jet skier is not a boat and the operator is not a boater and should not be using a ramp designed for boats. Second; kayak is not a boat and the operator is a fisherman...also not a boater and knows nothing about proper boat operation or boating etiquette and should not be using a ramp for boats and third; bass boat is being operated by a fisherman who knows nothing about proper boat operation or boating etiquette and should not be allowed to use a ramp designed for people who know and practice proper boating procedures..
I disagree with you on all three actually. A public boat ramp is just that made for any and everything. Pontoon, wakeboat, jet ski, canoe doesn't really matter its public access. There is 3 public ramps on this lake and no matter which one you goto its atleast 30 minute drive. There is no "beachy area" so the ramps have to be used. I'm unsure how you think the boater knows nothing of proper boat operation. But everyone has their opinion. I appreciate yours.
Being a fisherman I don't see how you can be objective.
