I took the little 12' Tracker Tadpole out today for some creek running and had about 6 hours of fun. Actually did more exploring than anything on some water that I have wanted to fish for a while.
Six hours of not hearing or seeing anything but nature can really do a body some good.
Backed the trailer down the ramp and loaded the boat, hooked the winch line to the front of the boat, jumped in the truck and took off up the ramp like always.
I knew something was not right when I saw the bow of my boat (with winch strap still attached) sticking almost straight up in my rear view mirror! =D>
Seems that I overlooked locking the winch when I jumped from boat to truck and my little boat fell off the back of the trailer.
No damage was done and thankfully I was the only person left at the ramp.
Just a reminder, no matter how many hundreds of times you launch and load your boats, double check everything before you get in the truck to drive off.
I'm just glad I did this with my 12' and not my 17' Bass Tracker.
