Any suggestions for a lake newbie?

Start with your Bizer chart and I highly recommend WEEKDAYS to get used you your boat and how it's affected by the wind.When docking try and find a public dock near you early in the morning determine where the wind direction is coming from and practice. BTW no heros trying to jump onto the dock to assist that just brings injuries. Get right up so you can loop a line and then have someone help tie you off. You'll be amazed at how many boaters at the docks will help you get secured.
