In the "olden days" we would have had our large state "paper" maps for the trip.

However, I still can't find the depth of the lake. Probably read right over it. I did read that it had a boat launch area......for trailered boats......

p.s. Hubby was impressed with the frequency of "ocean fishing trips" for the VILLAGES deep sea fishing club. They have quite a nice website here. His boat is o.k. on a big lake but more for ocean going.
One of our seasonal Canadian neighbors does lots of deep sea fishing. More often than not, he's out with rod and reel, fishing. Not sure what group he's a part of but he and his wife are never lacking for fresh fish...

If hubby has a trailer hitch for transporting the boat, there are places to use it. Even a short drive to the St. John's River can get him fishing in short order. The river is beautiful and from watching all fishing near where we cross over it, there must be plenty to catch!
There are facilities near TV where one can store a boat, but there will be a monthly fee.

Sounds like you live in a wonderful spot, though winters can be tedious I bet. If being able to keep both a home there and one here is feasible, it might be something to consider, at least for a while. I enjoy the winter, though not the bone chilling cold, sleet, ice, heavy, deep snow, super dry air indoors when the heat is on, wet gloves, snow in your boots, layers and layers of clothing, .....did I say I liked winter....lolol...
