How many of you go to a lake regularly during the summer?

[SandEagle]

not me

 

[Zebo]

Pretty much 3x a week sometimes more. I have 3 boats on 2 slips and the Nitro I can drag around to the other lakes. I fish a lot and sometimes people join me but I have just as much fun alone. I don't do to water sports too old and I'll break shit but my kids love it.

WTF would I go to some stank, stagnant lake. I have the Atlantic Ocean nearby, and a bit of a drive away is the Gulf of Mexico.

oh but pretty soon it might be ruined by the oil.

Fuck you BP. Fuck you.

Many lakes are not stagnant, but rather, are spring fed and are teaming with all kinds of wildlife. Places like Tablerock lake in Missouri are awesome because the water is clear enough to see down really far.

We purchased a lot a block from the ocean in December. We've been down clearing it, improving it with fence and gates and gravel strips for the RVs. This summer will be the first! The city also has many lakes with fishing.

Yup. How come the familiarity?

Close proximity

In-laws own a cabin on a lake. I love being outdoors and near water, but I can't stand going to there. The epitome of "stagnant", and the cabin is actually a tent that happens to be made out of wood.

I live on a lake so I go there pretty often. Sadly though, this lake is public and is gaining quite a party reputation. Which means its pretty busy on weekends, but mornings, evenings, and all week long its almost empty.

Thats pretty much our boat, 24' and a top speed of about 46 mph

 

[BurnItDwn]

Hmm, Bang's like is a couple hundred feet from my house, but I don't have lake rights.

That said, I can walk to the park if I wanted to fish, or I can walk to the beach/marina.

It's a small lake though, only like 2 or 3 square miles.

When my mom and aunt and uncles were kids my grandparents used to take them to Bangs lake for weekend trips.

 

[ViviTheMage]

I live in Minnesota, land of 10k lakes, so a lot?? haha

 

[Rubycon]

Got the longitude and latitude?

This way I can send a email over to google to swing over a satellite to take some pics for their google maps. :awe:

I used to post the real time coordinates but found out that is a no-no.

Dumb terrorists. They need to breed more jackasses and have them sit on their faces.

At the age of 33, I have only met one person that wakeboards. it's just not common.

How big is the engine on that thing? My 28' pontoon (with all of 90hp) is lucky to hit 20mph.

I never understood why Minnesota got that distinction, Michigan has over 11,000 inland lakes.

Beat the twin MerCruiser 496 MAG H.O. with Bravo 2 Stern Drives.

850hp of goodness pushing a 47 footer at 43 mph ftw.

Pass everything but the fuel dock too!

Yeah, anywhere up to $350/hr to run.

 

[Genx87]

As much as possible. Our cabin is on Gull Lake near Brainerd MN.
Great lake!

MN actually has closer to 13,000 lakes. I suppose 10,000 lakes sounds more clean than 13,000

We have a 28 foot long 10 foot wide triple tube Premier with a 275hp super charged outboard merc. It can do about 40mph empty. Pretty funny seeing that big a pontoon go that fast

 

[ussfletcher]

Yea, its epic to pass people that think they have badass speedboats. For a while we were looking at getting a premier with a merc outboard. We decided to go with the South Bay and an E-tec, no need for a 4 stroker.

 

[D1gger]

I am hardly ever more than a few miles from the Pacific ocean, and have a cabin that is on the beach in Parksville, BC that we visit regularly all year long.

Grew up on Lake Mendocino in California. <3

Moved away and now am surrounded by Seattle's lakes but I don't tend to go out on or in them much. Working on getting back to Lake Mendo.

 

[shortylickens]

No.
I wish I did.
With the Hooters girls.
And no clothes.
And I have a Ferrari.
