Take the Fear Out Of Navigating Big Waters By Phil Rolfe Navigating big waters does not have to be a traumatic experience, especially if you are prepared and have the commitment to learn the water. Many vacations are ruined because of lost lower units or boat damage. This does not have to be the case.
Possible exceptions are poor maps for a particular body of water.
Furthermore, the more you learn about a given body of water, the more fishing opportunities come your way. On more than one occasion, I have talked to guests at Witch Bay Camp , where I serve as walleye pro, who never left the bay which is only two miles long. Granted, these are in the minority, but none the less it still happens. The underlying reason is that they are afraid they ll either get lost or hit a reef. First, you need a good map.
