I have the [censored] and you'll have to go alone. What would you do?
1. get on the TFF and complain?
2 head out to the ramp alone? I hate getting my feet wet to start a day of fishing.
3. decide to spend the day watching WFN
4 play a computer game?
5 pay some bills?
6 go back to bed like she did?
7??

Get out there!! Its hot and the waters warm, wear some darn flip flops and go stick some toads. Thats exactly what I'd be doing.... if I wasn't at work.

It's 6:20 on Saturday morning. Got the call at 10pm last night. It's his loss. By 10am the lake will be crazy with ski-boats. So I'm going out and sticking to my marina's cove where there's plenty of docks and rocks, and all boats are on best no-wake behavior.

GO! His or Her loss.
I like fishing alone more most of the time than with a partner.

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2019/08/full-99592-21909-box_shot.jpg) Does this clear things up? 80-90% of the time, I fish with buddies. But when they say no, I still go.

I’ve fished solo for most of the last 35 years. If someone was going and canceled, I’d still go. Might go to a different location, as there are a few spots that are easier to launch and retrieve with two people.
I learned a long time ago to not depend too heavily on other people.

Option #2. I normally fish by myself anyway. No schedule to meet/wait or where to fish.

When you fish from a yak this is never an issue ...and you catch bigger fish.

took the dog for a walk around 9 AM and there was no wind. might have been a good top water bite this morning BUT talked to a guide friend who fishes the same area I do when fishing close to home and he and his clients had no fish.
Jeff when I launch alone I have to back into the water further because my Ranger sticks on the trailer and will not back off with the fenders showing at all. so I have to step in the water before going up the boat ladder.
when fishing with a partner I just have them sink the trailer and hit the brakes.

Hiya Joe, haven't heard you for a while. 10 4, Just loosen your strap a few feet back in and let it start to come off then pull forward the amount you loosened the strap!! Easy peasy. I do that or use a rope and let the boat get all the way off and pull forward pulling it up on the ramp or I walk back take the rope and pull the boat over to a dock or the bank.
