I have heard of fishing in heavily wooded areas, but this is a bit extreme.

Launching

Launching the boat off a wave to do some wave jumping is one thing but launching off a guard rail doesn't have the same effect.

one more reason to have good

one more reason to have good straps at the back holding the rig down and secured to the transom.

too many people think a chain on the front at the winch is enough to keep a boat on a trailer.

I like a good set of chains and turn buckles at the transom as well, to ensure their is no movement at all and the boat stays pu on the trailer under heavy braking or a sudden stop like an accident!
