There's a trick to fishing the larger lakes. Don't fish during the weekends when all the weekend warriors are out, and don't fish in the high boat traffic areas.
Scott,
Why should I be pushed to weekdays? How can I get any work done or answer business calls if I fish on a weekday? How about the guy that works Monday through Friday?
But both on Wawasee (largest natural lake in Indiana) and Clear lake when you go doesn't matter in the summer. You see, the kids are off from school and they are on the lakes every day. If they live on those lakes they come from well to do families and don't have to work in the summer.
Every house on the lakes has at least two boats and jet ski.
Morning doesn't matter either. Many jet skiers like that glassy smooth water of day break. I've even seen them in late fall with wet suits on.
BTW I did go on a Friday once. Had to wait in line for the boats in a bass tournament to launch. Apparently they decided they didn't want to go on a weekend either although there is a bass tournament on Wawasee every weekend in the summer.
Call me grumpy but I'll stay on the smaller lakes and my ponds. Fishing isn't supposed to get my blood pressure up and it certainly isn't supposed to be unsafe. I've had a few near collisions from boaters that weren't even looking where they are going. And nothing against water skiing as I've done my share of that and enjoyed it.
