BC, between Sechelt and Cortes island mostly, with occasional trips further south and north. I have cruised most of the South Pacific Islands, but love it here most.

Either Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac River, or Lake Anna, VA. I'm not in the bay near as much as I
used to be, because golf, which I took up when I turned 60, has really cut into my fishing time. The
grandkids like either the Potomac or Lake Anna.

Lake Anna is pretty close to Kings Dominion, an amusement park I haven't
been to in probably 30 years. I think the park is owned by the Cedar
Point amusement park people.

Mostly Lake Carlyle at Carlyle IL. It's Illinois largest man-made
lake"Man-made, because the Army Corps of Engineers dammed up the
Kaskaskia River back in the early 50's and make it quite a fishing,
boating area. Lot's of sailboats, too. Plenty of room and on the
busiest holidays it's not crowded. It's very wweell kept and has a
$3.00 launch fee. It's 60 miles from my house to the East Access
Launch site:

If wanting to take a short run, there's Omega Lake at Stephen Forbes
state park.

It's a nice picnic lake which can be great for skiing, tubing and
fishing. But gets crowded on holiday weekends. but through the week,
it seems you can have the whole place for yourself. No launch fees and
a really nice launch facility.

Another thing about the lake is stay away from the shoreline, even if
it seems deep, it's a good way to catch a stump and ruin an outdrive.

But it IS a fun little place.

This is my little patch, usually in the part that says 1-2 feet or
less ;-)

It tends to keep the crowds out

If you like looking at lots of estuary wildlife in one of the few
unspoiled estuaries in the country, Estero bay is a pretty cool place.
That is why I moved here


Don't know if you've ever heard of Useppa Island, which is down south of you. That island played a
role in the series of books I'm about to finish. The series is historical fiction, but the role
played by the island, a home for union sympathizers during the Civil War, was factual.

The series is the 'Honor' series by Robert N. Macomber. A fun read.

Useppa is actually north of here. It was a staging area for the ill
fated Cuban Bay of Pigs invasion among other things. It is now a
very posh residents club and resort. Directly west of Useppa,
several hundred yards across the Gulf Coast ICW is Cabbage Key.
Cabbage Key has some guest cottages and a small restaurant/pub which
is a very popular boating destination hereabouts.

Well, I thought I was responding to Greg, and that Useppa Is. was south of him. But, I'm getting
older'n hell.

I think the Union sympathizers who staged from Useppa were much more successful than the Bay of Pigs
guys.
