Timmy,

So much great advice has been given so far. I have to concur with t a common theme here. Take your time and take it slow. Winni can be overwhelming. It is notoriously one of the most difficult lakes to navigate. One individual gave sound advice that I think it would be wise to adhere to. Plan ahead, pick your spots, take your chart and take baby steps. It will make for more pleasant trips and fewer props. Most people you meet will be glad to offer tips. My family began coming to the lake in the late 70's early 80's. Admittedly there have been a few props lost along the way. One of the old sayings applies to this lake, "There are two kinds of boaters on Winni, those who have hit a rock and those who are going to hit a rock."

Welcome aboard.
