[QUOTE="TNReb, post: 5915997, member: 676"] Some people simply don't know any better. Some people will never learn and just don't care. I've seen it with bass boats, kayaks, wake board boats, pontoons, cabin boats... Last encounter I had with a kayaker was good. I pulled up to the ramp.. stopped in the right area and started getting my boat ready to launch. There was a kayaker on the ramp getting all of his stuff ready. It was a 2 lane ramp, and he was mostly over to one side... but not entirely. The ramp was empty when he got there (and not a single vehicle in the parking lot), so it wasn't really a big deal that he pulled on to the ramp to get ready. When I got ready to launch he hollered over and asked if I had plenty of room. We talked fishing for a couple minutes. Good dude. I've learned not to get in a hissy when there's ignorant people at the ramp. No sense in starting my fishing trip off on the wrong foot. If you want to say something to them, a polite... "[I]Hey.. just a heads up.. it's generally better for everyone if you stop back there and get your stuff ready. It'll keep the jerks from yelling at you. Good luck today. Be safe.[/I]" ... will usually go farther than fussing at them. [/QUOTE]
