I’ll be camping at the State Park for a week starting tomorrow. I’ll be fishing alone on Thursday, Friday, and Monday. If you’d like to go boat fishing with an old curmudgeon on any of those days, shoot me a PM for contact information.

Would love to but alas I gotta work this week and starting next week I will be heading to AZ for vacation. Enjoy your stay and catch some fish.[sly]
I have a question for you a little off your subject.
Your boat is a lot like mine, and you are about the same age as me, do you launch and retrieve your boat all by yourself, and go out fishing alone?
Do you do anything special to control the boat and go through the launch/retrieve process?
Thanks for any info.

Do you do anything special to control the boat and go through the launch/retrieve process? I carry hip boots in the truck when the water is below about 60 degrees. When it’s warmer, I also have a pair of water shoes I can slip on. I leave the boat connect to the trailer up front and back in until the rearend of the boat just floats. I then wade out, disconnect the strap, climb into the boat in front, start the boat motor, and drive to the dock. Then I go park the truck. Coming back is just the reverse of that. It’s never been a problem for me. Even with a total knee replacement in March, I’ve gone solo twice already this year.
Thanks for any info.
Thanks for the explanation Bob, I just assumed you walked on water, LOL.
If you go alone a lot as I do, google up and take a look at Ezee Steps.
I am disabled and only have one hand. I launch/retrieve my 1875 Lund and use my spare tire as a step but i really should invest in the Ezee Steps sooner than later.
I wish I could. Raincheck?
It’s a little late for Thursday, Friday is booked, but Monday is still open.
Wow. Thanks for the info. I’ll check it out. Good luck with fishing at hyrum!
Thanks Dubob. You and SBennett have given me some good ideas for launching and fishing with my boat when I am alone.
I find myself going more by myself, and I didn’t want to be limited to shore fishing all the time when I have a good fishing boat to go out in.
Thanks, and good luck.
Somewhere down below is my report, titled Hyruming with DuBob. I hope it gives you a chuckle, good sir.
Please give my best to your sweetie - because she is one.
I saw the report kind sir. We should do it again this summer. I have reservations made for Strawberry, Starvation, and the Gorge coming up and I’m sure to have open seats in the boat for all of them. Stay tuned for the announcements. My bride says thanks again for the publishing tips; much appreciated.
