Why do boat trailers SUCK?

Bottom Bouncers

• When to use what size weight?
• Using line counters to control distance
• Different styles nowadays
• Pulling cranks behind bottom bouncers, when they excel over snap weights

How long is too long of a trolling rod?

Self-Hooking boat trailers gaining in popularity

It's now late June, and the boat landing horror stories are growing smaller

Tips for Boat Landings

• ALWAYS get boat ready AWAY from the landing
• DO NOT load gear on the ramp, just loading and unloading please
• When the temperature is below freezing, let your trailer drain in the water...NOT the ramp (skating rink).
• Boat dock is not a swim beach
• Think of others
