No skunk on Monks

[briansnat]

I hit Monksville today for a few hours. With a late afternoon start I figured I'd just be wetting my line. I never do well here, but was surprised to bag a solid 20" pickerel that took a while to bring in because he dove deep into the weeds, and two smallies about a pound. The last one, I saw two bass fighting to get at my Keitech swimbait. I caught the winner (or shall I say the loser?).

As a side note, I've never seen Monksville so crowded. When I drove over the bridge on my way to the launch I saw the water filled with kayakers, and a few sail boats. I usually hit the south ramp because it's less crowded, but the lot was packed. I actually had to wait for someone to pull out so I could get a parking spot suitable for the trailer. And WTF is with the people who seem to think a boat ramp is some sort of beach? People were set up with chairs and coolers on the ramp as if it was a day at Seaside Heights. And half a dozen people or so fishing, swimming or wading right on or in front of the ramp.

LMAO! Sounds like the Reiglesville boat launch on the Delaware. Beers, food, jet skis, jet boats, and all the clown antics you'd expect at the circus. Good job putting any kind of catch together with the floating circus in town.

Seriously, the boat ramp is no place to have a picnic or stand around gawking at the scenery.

When people are picnicking on the boat ramp, I drive my car right up to their chairs. When I unload my kayak, I walk right through them carry my kayak and knocking all their shit over. I don't care. It's a boat ramp, not an al fresco dining area.

If you don't make them uncomfortable, they will never learn that they're doing something wrong.

It's the same reason I flip-off bad drivers on the road. If you don't teach them what they're doing wrong - how will they ever learn?
