Before you leave the driveway

Use this page as a quick decision check before you tow, launch, or load the family into the boat.

  • Check weather, lake traffic, and fishing plan.
  • Bring PFDs, anchor, lines, net, and dry storage.
  • Keep your return time and launch location written down.

Helpful next steps

Once the launch decision is clear, use the related checklist, shop, or local guide links to finish getting ready.

  • Open the matching ramp, lake, or port guide.
  • Review the safety checklist before backing down the ramp.
  • Fix missing numbers, labels, or boat-name lettering before the next trip.
