that is an organized ramp compared to Barnstable. At least you got some fisherman using that ramp. I have to compete with beach goers who use their boat twice a year and completely forget everything they ever knew about backing a trailer up. I have had to do it for a few of them over the years or I would still be waiting to pull my boat.

I wasn't quite clear.
I meant to refer to the urban angler cluster F I witnessed at the jetty.
A few 20 in fish stuffed into styrofoam coolers. The shoulder to shoulder brotherhood of one hand casting piscatorial nimrods. Plugs flying like angry hornets.
I watched some shirtless Barney Rubble let his 5 yr old son get a plug festooned fish out of the rocks by grabbing it around the head. I'm thinking " here is how the stupid learn the stove is hot "
Priceless .
I could go on and on, but that place needs bleachers and a hot dog stand.  |
May fortune favor the foolish....

I'd bet if you charged $50 to remove hooks from people you could make an easy grand  |

I wrote a column about the freak show at the WB years ago - I think I described it as being like Dodge City on the Saturday night before Wyatt Earp rode into town. If anything, it's gotten worse down there. Natives should be allowed to carry flamethrowers and bazookas during the tourist season.  |

The Galilee, RI ramp is a sideshow as well. On a high tide the ramp nearer the dock doesn't drop off until the towing vehicles is well into the water. Chasis and exhaust systems are immersed into the salt.

sounds like you and I are dealing with summer the same way Bob..
I'm a friggin hermit this year.. get to work early, (no traffic before 7 AM)... struggle home by 4, and stay there...
kinda miss my old schedule of having a weekday off.. weekends off suck, at least in summer on the cape... too much freaking traffic & people, be it roads, on the water, boat ramps, or whatever...
nice and quiet up here in the woods tho .....
Fall's a comin'......  |

I know what you mean. Last year I thought I was going to have to break up a fist fight with my two young sons watching. I have not been back since - like boating out of Barnstable but that was the last straw. I like to put in early but when coming out, all the traffic at the ramp and even worse, the parking lot is just not worth it. |
