The first days of summer are always a comedy act at the ramps......especially on Saturdays. Seen everything from sinking boats (don't forget the plug) to boat launches where the launcher just drivesthe boat off, forgetting the truck on the launching ramp.
One of my pet peeves, when fishing, is other boaters passing right in front of the area you are fishing, so close I can hit them with a cast. Especially on large lakes. Happened to me this week. I'm fishing the channel drops, with the entire channel behind me, and here come a boat.....I'm making 20 -25 yard casts just off the channel where I know it's only 2 feet deep....with stumps. The guy and his companion pass within 15 yards of me, i could see them smiling, I'm sure they thought it was funny until there was a god and his prop caught one of the stumps, his 115 motor pops into the air and the cowling dislodges and sinks before he could grab it. So there he is, I won't tell you how loud a 115 is without a cowling, and his prop is a mess. I'm fixated on them....a big smile on my face. So I offered a word of advise and suggested if they kept their boat between the red and green buoys and not in the area someone is fishing they will not tear up their equipment.
