That may...or may not...have been the mindset of some anglers who were letting their big gas motor "eat" while running a foggy Perry Lake in Kansas back on the morning of Sept. 12. Instead of ending up at their favorite hole, they found themselves sitting high and dry along a piece of the shoreline. As noted by the game warden who responded to the call for help, "Luckily, no one was injured, but it's a friendly reminder about why a smart angler slows down to a safe speed when visibility is reduced."
Perry Lake is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers-operated reservoir located about 40 miles west of Kansas City, just northwest of Lawrence, KS. It covers approximately 11,000 acres and is 891.5 ft. at full multi-purpose pool. The lake is home to three marinas, a nationally recognized trail system, and a variety of camping, boating, fishing, and hunting activities. Nicknamed "Paradise on the Plains," it's a very popular destination.
I found this item in the latest issue of Jay Kumar's BassBlaster.
