[QUOTE="H82bogey, post: 107594, member: 1372"] From one lone angler to another. No, you are not doing a thing wrong. I fish by myself quite frequently. I always make sure my boat is ready to launch before backing the trailer down, and that is a big part of it. My other thing is to keep the trailer close to the dock so I can step right in. I have launched on many busy ramps by myself, beaver bay, Kimball bottoms, Pick City and Garrison in the summer. If you are efficient, you can be just as fast, if not faster than many people loading with 2 people. I know, because I have watched many people trying to load/unload a boat before I start to back my trailer down. I can either be back in the boat, or pulling my loaded boat back up the ramp before they do. The big thing is to just set yourself up for success and efficiency before you get there. Unfortunately there are always a few jack wagons that will complain, it just comes with the territory. But no, you are not doing anything wrong. Also, don't ever hesitate to bring your son along. Some of my best memories are from fishing with my dad as a kid. Make as many of those as you can! [/QUOTE]
