I didn't realize that the most of you guys are locked into the mercy of the marinia's rules, I have a 19ft Sea Ray that only drafts 3 foot of water, dock or no dock if the lake is open to fishing I'm there, weather permitting. Hunting season starts monday,so i'll be in the woods for some real meat! Had back surgury 4 weeks ago so I have more time on my hands than normal. Also what did you mean by the water gets to low to navigate the channels, what makes the water resend this time of the year?( also if not being to nosey) what size vessel do you have? maybe this spring we could hook up with you for a day for a quick education? It's so nice to talk to real humans unlike the spring posts. Like always tight lines to everyone & happy holidays PAP.
