Lake boating
Several posters here seem really down on lake boating as if it isnt
"Real" boating. What a bizarre idea. Lake boating is different and often better than on salt water, often the scenery is much better. We learned to sail on Lake Guntersville in Alabama and although there were never big swells, there were countless beautiful little coves to anchor in. Yes, one can go offshore in salt water but there's nothing interesting to see out there, all the interesting stuff is near shore. Lake Lanier in the GA mountains looks really nice to drive past and would probably be great for quiet coves. After being in salt water for awhile, boating on fresh water is infinitely more refreshing. |

I enjoy lake boating. 60 miles from me is a large lake. Lake Carlyle in IL. in another direction is Ren Lake, thats about 75 mi. and in another direction is Shelbyville lake which is large as well. Carlyle is big enough that y9ou can stick a hundred boats out there, and you rarely cross each others paths. Lots of coves and fishing too. If I go 45 mi. tpo the east I have the wabash river which is pretty good when the water is up, and you can ski for better than 20 miles on calm water. OR, 90 mi to the south of me is the Ohio river. Locally there is a small lake (Omega) at Sam Parr state park which is a nice little picnic lake that a person can do lots of skiing but you travel in circles a lot. but during holiday time it's really crowded. I like the bigger fresh water myself. |

What is unique about the place is that it's deep and mountainous, so there's cold water species as well as warm water species. I'd like to see Harry be able to fish for trout, sauger, pike, and Walleye in deep cold water, then go into the coves and catch largemouth, spotted bass, white bass etc. in the warmer water, run out to the middle of the lake, troll for huge stripers, all in the same day. Can't do that just anywhere. |

After being in salt water for awhile, boating on fresh water is infinitely more refreshing. I agree that lake boating can be more fun than ocean sailing. The average sailboat travels about 4 to 5 mph so in a given 3 to 4 hours you are not going to travel very far. While the ocean sailor is traveling from the marina to the ocean you can have several hours of nice sailing on the lake. I am aware there are lakes and then there are lakes. When we were in eastern North Carolina, we had Lake Jordan (about 10000 acres) and Lake Kerr about (30000) you could spend a lot of time on one tack or reach. One good days sail was going up the lake about 5 miles and back. Now we living in Indianapolis, the lake we have to sail is about two miles long and a half mile wide, it give you lots of practice in tacking and reading the wind. You did not mention the wildlife that you see on the shores of the lakes. We have seen bobcats (the animal), deers, eagles, etc. |

And depending where you boat, the trip from the launch to the Ocean can be as short as 5 minutes. We have whales, dolphins, Mola Mola, as well as sharks and bird life to watch. Plus the sea lions that follow the boats around to steal fish. Hand feed pelicans at times, as well as watching the Sea Otters if in Monterey Bay. Plus the lakes and river are nice to boat and fish in also. It's all good boating. |

I have no preferences as to where I boat save that there is water.
Have been in some gawd awful sea conditions in large vessels, and I guess that is my least favorite. Other than that, if it's calm or relatively calm, it's all fun. Do I need a special boat to go on a lake? Steve ;-) |

Or better...Lake Erie, when it picks up on you, and you're running 4 to 5 footers to get back in..... Maybe they should go out in a Commercial Tug when fishing for White Bass in April....nasty. |

What is unique about the place is that it's deep and mountainous, so there's cold water species as well as warm water species. I'd like to see Harry be able to fish for trout, sauger, pike, and Walleye in deep cold water, then go into the coves and catch largemouth, spotted bass, white bass etc. in the warmer water, run out to the middle of the lake, troll for huge stripers, all in the same day. Can't do that just anywhere. So you are inviting Harry to move on down to Lake Lanier? That's very generous, and a bit of a surprise. But I'm glad to see you extending the hand of friendship. We need more of that here. --Vic Yes! I'd love to see him act the way he acts around these parts. He'd get his fat ass beat daily. Liar ! |

Even ignoring sea conditions (the Great Lakes can be quite nasty), you still need a different level of corrosion resistance. Guys bring boats down here that lived happily on a lake in Ohio for a decade to find that salt tears them up in a year. The other observation I have about small lake boating is they do not consider things like mooring lines, cleats and ground tackle to be all that important. On a small lake, if the boat floats away, your neighbor will call you and have you come over and get it. My friends in the lake area north of Tampa typically tie up their boat with clothes line, lamp cord or whatever and on the dock end it might just be a wad of overhand knots, wedged between the deck boards. An "anchor" might just be a concrete sprinkler doughnut or whatever they had laying around. Carrying safety equipment is generally pretty spotty. I suppose if you trailer into a regularly patrolled lake the safety thing has to be a bit better. These guys never see a boat cop. I never had the desire to own a salt water boat. I spent six years in the Gulf of Mexico on various craft. In those six years, I learned that I did not want to be in salt water in a small craft. I DID do some fishing in the brackish marshes of southern Louisiana, but that is as close as I came to salt water boating. I was a passenger and hand on many various vessels, and we did a lot of fishing offshore before the snapper laws were enacted. I have seen firsthand the effects on anything metallic when exposed to salt water. Steve |
