A few JBs going to Three Rooker Island this Saturday, thought I'd share.

Thanks! Are you trailering your boat to a ramp close by or driving all the way around?

I'm planning on launching out of Seminole Boat Ramp - it'll be my first time at that ramp.

Launched out of there for years (years ago). Nice ramp but can get crazy on weekends; especially late afternoon.

How was your first time at this boat ramp? Were you able to find a spot to park your truck and trailer? See anything crazy?

The ramp is for pros, newbies should avoid using it. I squeezed the truck/trailer into a spot, barely. The spot actually didn't have lines, but when I got back, I did't have a ticket.

The process of trailering is crazy as well. Numerous boats lined side-by-side waiting. One guy in a small Bayliner kept going forward and reverse, left and right. Finally, I temporarily docked the boat, drove the truck down into an open lane. I then jumped back in the boat and motored onto the trailer.

Oh good, glad you got a spot.

Smart thinking. Like I said, it can get crazy over there. You must know what you're doing or act like you do, otherwise people run over you.

I didn't want to scare you into not going, but I have told a lot of people that if you want some pure entertainment, go there late afternoon, sit on one of the picnic benches and watch.
