It depends all on the WEATHER Hebert...

More days than not the lake has a considerable chop and can get down right nasty in a hurry. I live on the lake and have seen more than a fair share of smaller marsh, river type boats not make it back to the landing and the Sheirff department has to go look for them and make a rescue. Now on them days when the wind is light or calm you can run all over the lake with no problem but with those type of summer days you ALWAYS have the risk of one of them afternoon Thunder Bangers popping up right over you then your dealing with 3 - 4 ft chop and you don't want to be on the lake in a smaller rig dealing with all that, trust me! So I would definetly reccomend you get some sort of bay boat and would also recomend that you find one at least 21ft, i know the cost is more but you will be able to handle the chop by being able to get on top of the waves making your ride more comfortable and DRIER! Good Luck with your venture!
