I was last there 35 years ago. Not very built up. Great lake.

My only issue was that boats, when not anchored seemed to travel at full speed. Not much part throttle cruising.

Not sure why, but hopefully it has changed, as I presume the lake is a lot more crowded now.

Oh yeah, everyone travels flat out it seems. There are a select few that cruise, like myself. It can get crazy out there

Very cool. I did not know that was possible. I thought the term "Striped Bass" likely meant some other fish.

Here in NJ we call Sea Trout "Weakfish". Bluefish are Snappers, Taylor Blues, Choppers or Alligator Blues, depending on size.

In Maryland, Striped Bass are Rockfish.

Striped Bass do breed in freshwater like the Hudson River. However, it took some convincing (i have read) to get them to stay in freshwater 24X7.
