    Re: safety question. what to do when storms come up quick on lake. lightning.

    the only covered areas on the lake are narrows and pennisula marina areas. i was just curious what people have done if they are in a position where they cant get into any visible cover.

    AS good place to start is to know where NOT to go. Get off the water... tie off the boat and get away from teh water... then get as low as you can away from trees as much as possible. Do NOT go into a cave for shelter.

    Your best defense is to be prepared. if the weather starts to go south, fish closer to a marina...some of my best holes on barren are within a mile or two of teh narrows... keep an eye on teh sky and dont get caught...

    If you have a marine band radio it will likely have a weather channel. Info from the national weather service updated as conditions change. This can also give you some forewarning that you need to head back to the ramp.
