I used to launch and fish from an aluminum boat off a trailer, then switched to a canoe and finally a kayak. Frankly, I would rather launch a canoe or kayak anywhere other than the boat ramp. A strip of sandy shore is ideal. The ramp is designed for TRAILERS. If I have no choice I'll back down the ramp, unload, then move the boat to the shore on either side and get out of Dodge.
