[#0000FF]The low water levels are actually a boon to us float tuber types. It reduces the access to boats...with some of the harbors now being too shallow to launch large craft. But we can still launch tubes and toons almost anywhere we wanna. The low water at Lincoln Beach opens up a lot of good tube launching spots that are much closer to the best fishing than if we had to launch at the ramp.
Also, the lower water tends to concentrate the fish more...especially as they seek out deeper spots in the cooler temps. There aren't many places in the lake with depths greater than 3 to 4 feet so the few deeper holes off Bird Island, The Knolls and Lincoln Beach attract more fish. And more fish attract more of us tubers. Unfortunately, it also attracts whole floatillas of happy harvesters in their tin boats. Gets to be a real zoo on some prime spots.
Child bride to old lady. Happens fast when you get to be our age. At least it seems like time goes faster. I also refer to our marriage as "holy wedded macaroni" or "awful wedded bliss". You should hear her pet names for me. Ahhh...terms of endearment.
