Thanks for the info and warning Andy. I have an old town discovery sport (flat on back to mount motor, and wider for better stability). I have an electric trolling motor that works great. I'll definately be careful.

I figure if I hit the lake around 5am at a location as far from a public boat launch as possible, I may be able to avoid severe crowding fow a few hours while others are waiting in line at the launches. What do you think? Any suggested locations to try?

Thanks!
