So a fella comes ripping into the launch with an enormous speed boat on the trailer. Lifted truck, loud exhaust, dust flying, music blasting.
Cuts in front of several people including myself. Anyhow Captain Spray tan and his trophy lady emerge from the truck. Proceed to get ready in the ramp.
He hands her two short line’s maybe 15’ on a 30 plus foot boat. In the truck he goes engine reving backs it in. Performs the I’m awesome brake stab. Apparently not looking back at all. Slams it in drive and guns up the ramp. Surprise surprise the boat only half cleared the bunks!! Miss Marlboro 1990 she strained trying to hold the two short lines. Yelling as he ripped her from the dock (Unharmed) into the drink.
Of course he can’t hear over his screaming music and loud pipes. Those twin high dollar drives dragging up the concrete ramp along with the hull from mid ships back.
Tough pulling the Miss out of the water while keeping a straight face.
Love a good trip to the launch!!
Thanks, Wasn’t our best day a couple average size lakers. I cast a wide spread mostly spoons. Various depths and style presentation. Nothing really popped such is life.
People are launching but it’s iffy. Lot of current also I believe there is still a no wake order by the sheriffs. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Last time I caught LLs in Owasco was mid 90s. Growing up Bows,Browns and LL were about the only things I’d catch. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
At one point they were stacked on the graph like firewood. Changed speeds and direction. Raised other baits up. They just had lockjaw for some reason or another. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Worst you can do is get skunked. I’ve fished and lived on Owasco since birth. Been skunked plenty in the daytime Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
I’ve done it with my little 14’ tiller boat. Just two rods flatlined with deep diving baits and weight added. Caught bows and walleye at different times. Not great but something to do Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Those weed mats gave me some mess. Managed to get a pump handle off a board, wrapped with a rigger rod and a copper. Fun weekend but not my most productive. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Great job!! We had a hard time with them this weekend. They didn’t seem to want anything I offered. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
