I have been out several times since and have been methodically exploring choosing to go in a counter clockwise direction (don't ask me why) from Smiths Cove. I have gone around Rattlesnake and the various islands close by just exploring. I am taking it slow as I keep in mind all the outdrive vs. rocks stories I have read about. This weekend I am going to a lot of exploring.
Anyway. I hope to see you guy's out there. I am having a BALL!
Thanks Again-

I have been waiting and waiting for your reports. Good to hear you are having luck and great to hear you are taking it slow. It sounds like you are enjoying things and that is great! It sounds like you are going to have a great summer exploring the lake. I've been boating on the lake for around 25 years and it hasn't gotten old. I still discover new things each year. I try to change my "habits" each year and pick new hot spots to visit. Last year I made Alton Bay my new favorite spot to visit. It was great, as I hadn't spent much time there in the previous 24 years.
TIP: Don't ever be afraid to ask for help with anything. As a seasoned veteran I can honestly tell you that I am always happy to help when asked. I believe that to be the case with most if not all boaters on the lake.
