I finally got to go for a drive yesterday after recent foot surgery, and headed up to L.P. to check things out. Talked to two boats that had come in, and it wasn't good!! One had fished most of the day for one strike, and the other had picked up a couple of trout drifting and anchor fishing. It was a good that I decided to go up there. One boat broke down, and drifted across the lake. Just as I was leaving, I thought I saw them waving a white object. I waited for the only other boat on the lake to come in, and sent them over there. Sure enough, they had broken down. Could easily have been over there all night. They had a whistle, but I had specifically listened to hear something and could not hear it. I recommended the first thing he do is to buy an air horn. Anyway, I will be able to use my boat in a couple of weeks, and am I ready to drown a worm or two! Mike
