How Do You Operate A Bass Fishing Boat?
Operating a bass fishing boat is difficult for beginners, but it gets easier with time and some good instruction. Bass fishing boats tend to be faster and more low-slung than regular freshwater fishing boats, so here’s a few tricks to remember when launching and steering them. Read on. Find a ramp in a traffic-free area. You’ll launch the boat from there. Tilt the boat engine to give you enough clearance to get down the ramp. If the ramp is steep, keep the bow rope attached until the boat is close to the water. Make sure you have good visibility before launching, and check again that the area is free of traffic. Slowly back the boat down the ramp. Have someone stand nearby to tell you immediately if another boat or person gets in the way. Continue to back the boat down the ramp until the stern begins to float. Have your assistant push the boat off the trailer. Remove the bow rope if it is still attached. When the whole boat is afloat, move your car to the parking area and move the boat
