Re: Boat ramp etiquette
I’ve seen the footage too. I’m not sure he was stabbed.
I think it might have been a bait hammer or something.
It was more of a hammer style strike then a stand and the reaction of the “stabee” and surrounding people wasn’t like you’d expect.

Re: Boat ramp etiquette
This is why i try to avoid going out if i know its going to be insanely busy. I guess i am lucky with my regular job as my days off are almost always Monday and Tuesday, so the ramps are normally pretty quiet.
Maybe they should spend some of that money they promised on building more facilities so that there are more ramps to use. Its all well and good trying to get more and more people into fishing, but you also have to provide the infrastructure to accommodate them all.

Re: Boat ramp etiquette
They're so far spending it on traffic management boom gates, skimping costs despite contractor negative feedback, replacing a ramp with an adequate gradient that appears via aerial shots to have been lessened, when all that was needed was an extra 5ft chucked on the end of it, meaning a negative net gain for users given it has been lengthened, and renders a larger proportion of the landing dock area useless...SteveoTheTiger wrote: ↑Thu Nov 05, 2020 10:22 amThis is why i try to avoid going out if i know its going to be insanely busy.

Hell add 5ft as you say and use the other money to pay a contractor to head out on a monthly low low tide with a pressure washer to remove the scum and buildup off everything. 12 visits a year. Would make it primo.

Re: Boat ramp etiquette
Well it’s Silly season again few observations from the local ramp.
-White VW with 5m Maclay struggling to reverse trailer parks at top of ramp blocking other users because because “they want to see how others launch first”
-Bloke blocks ramp to start to unhitch I pull up ready to launch. Me “please move your car if your not ready” Him “I was here first” Me “no you weren’t I was just unstrapping and getting ready without blocking the ramp like your f”””””” suppose to” He gets in his car and moves.
Unfortunately another morning I was launching and there was an aluminium boat on the concrete on another ramp. The blokes removed their safety chain just relying on the boat catch system on the trailer it came off and resulted in a 5m boat on concrete. After trying to help them for a while there was very little that could be done to get the boat up with my help so I suggested the racv get called wished them luck and continued on my way.
