Henry's Lake Round 1

[MMDon]

It's worse in bad weather with few boats out. I'm not sure how many boats you have seen sunk at the docks at Henry's but I've seen a lot in my time. I've seen boats sunk 50' from the docks because they couldn't get in as well. When the weather's bad, a boat like mine has no choice but to come in hot. A jet inboard doesn't give you a second chance when docking even on a nice day. The jet pump gives the boat a shove in the general direction you want the boat to go in and that is the last control over the boat you have. I'm a good pilot but . . . it's for your safety they don't allow people to play around on ramp docks. We all do our best but in the wind and waves it's always dicey at best. That's a 3000 lb. missile headed the direction of what ever is on the docks. Teach your kids the dangers of fishing off of boat ramps and they will be the better for it and guys in boats won't have one more thing to worry about.
