Just got off the water.  First time fishing this year and it was great.

However the catching, not so much.

But I did mange to get this footage of the boat going off & back on the trailer.

The twin Talons & the Ultimate Bunk Boards do seem to make this little easier.

Very nice - now you know that being dockless doesn't mean being fishingless.

 

Only one of the four main launch points I use has a dock (Little Long), so it's pretty much wet-feet most of the time.

Thanks ~ 

I've been wet footing it much more since the re-bunk.

Funny how that works.

Nice video! I rarely use a dock and never have wet feet or rubber boots. There are two differences in my routine: I walk out on the boat trailer tongue and I pull the bow of my boat up onto the shore. I may try to film it one day

My rig usually has a cap on it so once the trailer is deep enough, unless I can levitate, wet foot is the only option. Water was 36 degrees here.

In temps over 60 or so, I ditch the boots.  Hope to see that video too.

Yes I assume a camper shell would make my method impossible. 

The way out you can keep your feet dry.  Just pretie your retrieval rope and attach it to the trailer.  Back up, dump the boat without getting out of the truck and pull forward so that the trailer is far enough out of the water to grab the rope.  Pull the boat to shore, park and go.  Coming back in though we feet is harder.  Can get from shore to boat and on the trailer, but can't magically drive my truck from the boat.
