When you guys said it was a deep lake.. you weren't kidding. Located a bunch of fish around the 35 foot mark or what gave the impression of schools of fish. I mean there was nothing about or below.
Anyhow it was a great day fer the exception I lost my new grey fishing life jacket. I think it was on the lake...

When you purchased that boat, you opened a hole in the lake that you will throw money into until you get rid of that boat!
You have also given permission to the lake gremlins to take anything that is not tied down, as you race about the lake in your euphoric state. Therefore I implore you to tie a strap on your children (and dogs) so they don't fly overboard and are not missed until you are 5 miles down the lake.
Take pictures of that favorite rod and reel combo so after it gets pulled, yanked, dropped, or blown overboard, you'll have a photo to look back on with fond memories.
Be especially happy that gas is sub $2.00 a gallon as you will probably only get two miles.per gallon at WOT (wide open throttle).
When gas goes back to $3.00+ you'll want to go no further than seeing distance from the dock so the three gallons of gas will get you back to the ramp.
HAPPY BOATING!
