First time out, dinged the prop. The water is way low. But I have a fishing tournament coming up Sunday, so I went out to scout the lake today. Hit three rocks all at the north end of the lake. Thought I just banged the skeg three times, one hit was the prop. It's not bad ding, but it still sucks. First time I've been glad to be driving an old boat. <br /><br />If you’re putting your boat into Lake Hopatcong this weekend, stay down in the main lake and be careful. The water’s so murky you can't always tell when you’re getting shallow. At one point on the main lake I thought I was in five feet of water and didn’t realize until I threw a lure into the water I was actually in about two.
