And so it begins..

The season of ramp vamps and trashliners has begun. Yesterdays warm weather brought the circus to the ramp at Fort Washington Marina. Glad it was my last launch there till fall. Guy in tin boat falls over backwards in boat attempting to tie up at launch ramp. Starts screaming to me to help him while I am power loading boat. Then a Bayliner (trashliner) blocks ramp to remove straps and load coolers. Female sitting in truck has the bump music turned up for all to hear.
Noticed my trailer tag was missing so checked water at ramp first. Guy with trashliner says if he sees it floating he will place it over on the wall. I twist my head and say it is made from metal and will not float. He shakes his head tells me it is thin metal so it will float. OK thanks and walk away.
Then a c-skiff backs up and the boat sides right off the trailer onto the ramp. Now both ramps are blocked.. glad I got out before them. Found my tag in parking lot floating just above the gravel. Ha
As I climb in my truck I see 15 boats coming in to weigh in cat fish. With both ramps blocked I am sure the catfish guys are going to be nice..
I left before the police show up.
