I have been going to ramps in Florida for over 40 years. In my experience, I've seen as many more Florida boys have trouble with the rules you posted, especially the rules which basically require you to get your stuff together before you block the ramp. The second most common thing is a Florida fella with a broke trailer because he was just going a short way and surely that trusty (rusty) ole trailer would make the trip one more time.
Thanks for the welcome ..do understand ramp etiq..so far have been around some good folks...first time out moter had a siphon valve prob..but its fixed now??will find out..
am hoping to make it to the bend area around middle of Nov...but for now its Blacksheare trolling for stripes.(or anything else).caught a few on sunday...rattle trap rules...
We should copy your 'rules' down on some good signs and post them at eveyr boat ramp any of us uses...course the poeple that already break those rules prolly wouldn't bother anyhoo..
...sounds like some pretty defensive Jawja boys...guilty conscience anyone????
Mookbait! At least 401 times better than live bait!
Disconnect the electrical "pigtail" from your vehicle - the thing that allows your trailer's brake lights to function while on the road
Thanks for the welcome and the Boat ramp etiquette (Florida version)> Pretty close to (Jawga version).But I wasn't too sure what the pigtail thinggy was ..... There is plenty of room to back on down at the ecofina .If you can get it in the water during one of them Tuesday evening tournaments at Cox landing you should be able to get it in any where..But if I do run in to trouble I will get out of line and let the next person get in ...thanks for the winter tide info as well..I have only been out in the summer months with a friend, so I had no idea the tides were that low..I will sure share any reports as they come ..The second best thing about fishing is talking fishing..take care
