Hi,
I have a boat on Lake Lanier in GA. The other morning I took it out,
and the overall wave action appeared to be different than usual.
It was a flat calm day, except when a passing boat produced some
waves. Most of the time the waves seem to be sort of peaked and
a bit sharp, but on this morning they were more rounded and flatter.
The first boat I noticed it from, I thought it might be simply due to
the shape of the boat itself. But after a while I noticed it was true of
all of them...which was cool with me because it meant I could go
faster without getting tossed in the air too much. It still made me
wonder *why* though. Could it have something to do with what
creates high and low tides, and/or why sometimes when you dig
a hole you seem to have more dirt than you took out and sometimes
you seem to have less? If so, is there a way to predict when waves
will tend to be sharper and when they will tend to be flatter, like
people can predict high and low tides?
I fish Lanier, where on the lake are you?
At Holiday Marina. I don't fish, but if you'd want to hook up and go
for a boat ride--houseboat, runabout, and/or paddle around in a kayak
--let me know. So far I haven't met anyone from a news group, and
that would be cool for me. I'm at R17. Give me a call at 678-714-5764,
or an email at
sometime if you want. If you send
an email be sure to mention something about Lanier or the like so I know
it's not spam, 'cause I get about a hundred spams a day.
Cool, I'll do it. I sometimes put my bass boat in at Aqualand, but
mostly Shoal Creek. Holiday Marina is nice. Do you live on your
houseboat? I'll email you, possibly going fishing next weekend.
