Re: Hopatcong Boat Slip Rec.?
I keep my big boat at my buddys house on the main lake. U have to be careful with marinas and their location. With a bass boat u have to be in a no wake zone w little traffic, u will get water over the hull otherwise, certain marinas wont even take bass boats. If u end up in a gated secure marina u can leave rods/tackle in a locked compartment and cover the boat. 2 things u must have.......a mooring cover that covers whole boat, preferably 2 piece, and new battery w an auto bilge. U can also get a season pass at lees for 225 unlimited launches if you dont fish it alot. U generally dont see alot of bass boats moored in LH and the algea is a pain in the ass. every few weeks u need a snorkel and mask and a car wash brush and u gotta scrub her down, otherwise its impossible to get off once its dry without a steam clean. And u gotta watch where ur cleats are u will get scuffs in the gelcoat from the mooring lines, Im on the main lake and have mine on mooring whips and it gets rocked to hell in summer on weekends......
