Been a little over a year since I was here.... Learned my way around the lake a little bit. You can put in at the Dunnellon city landing and run all the way into the lake. Once you get to there, watch out for stumps! Stay in the channel and you're fairly safe even on plane. There are so many islands, you won't find your way back to town if you don't have a track to follow! You'll be running basically West and the channel markers in the lake make a "T" that shows on some maps. The channel runs basically north & south where it splits and near that area is a 30 foot deep hole that usually has some crappie in it.
I may have to try it again soon - been pretty much crippled with sciatica since October and had back surgery 2 weeks ago today. Staples come out tomorrow. If anyone needs it, check with Citrus Orthopedics, Dr Silverstein! He's great!
I figured I was going to be laid up for a while so I took my boat to the shop for the routine stuff (Action Craft 1820 w/Evinrude 150). When we pulled the cowl off, the mechanic backed off and said he didn't do rats.... I pulled the nest out with my Leatherman pliers and found 2 baby squirrels in it. They went to a squirrel rescue near the shop but mama squirrel turned a $350 job into a $1500 job! My engine still ran but she chewed up the most expensive parts she could find! I might get the call my boat is ready tomorrow but my Dr still hasn't cleared me to drive yet, so it'll probably be a few more weeks before I can get back on the water.
