Get their extra early and avoid even more people. I also like to seek out a ramp a little farther away that is less crowded and make a run in the boat rather than mess with the crowds. last year during sockeye season Now you want to talk about a mess. their was a ramp near where I moore my boat that never had anyone at it . It is a 3 mile run to fishing grounds but alot better than waiting 2-3 hours in line to put in then 2-3 hours to take out.
