    Question loading boat at Lake Junaluska?

    Dumb question: for those who fish Junaluska with a bass boat, how do you load it back on your trailer? I guess I am so used to power loading. Cannot use a trolling motor to put it very far onto a trailer unless I am missing something. Please share. Thanks.

    Haha yes it does. Just was wondering at that particular ramp setup if people have better luck taking a run at it with their trolling motor, guys are using a rope and pulling it on from the dock, etc.

    Fished a small lake, maybe 100 acres, in PA years ago that was TM only. I got really good at coming in full speed and lifting my TM just in time to get the boat on the trailer. Took a few times to get it right. Best thing was fishing was really good!

    Get your trailer in as far as you can without having to get wet and you can go in full blast with your trolling motor and get it as far as you can and wench the rest of the way as long as your wench strap is long enough.
