I'm pretty sure I'd have to get a smaller boat. The best lakes in Georgia these days are power limited. Nice problem to have, I suppose. Thanks for the tip. I've done some reading, but I don't believe I've heard of that resource.

The 'big water' around here is a little scary sometimes what with the drunken idiots and all. So far I've stayed off of Lanier entirely. I began by putting in at Holiday Harbor marina, but lately have been using a very nice public ramp on the Little River.

I actually tore myself up fishing that day. Had extreme shoulder pain. I was eventually diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinitis, a partial labral tear, ulnar neuropathy, and carpal tunnel (not all caused by the fishing, just found incidentally on the shoulder exam). I'm almost afraid to go back out. I'm nearly ambidextrous, though, so I suppose I could cast left handed.
