Best water you've ever been in?

[pyro]

What's the best clean, clear water you've ever ran your boat in?

In Northern Michigan, we've got some nice, spring-fed lakes with crystal-clear water and sandy bottoms. Torch Lake has been voted one of the most beautiful lakes in the world several times.

Here's my boat on Higgins Lake this past weekend... :)

i pissed my self to warm up and life has never been the same ;-)

[WATERWINGS]

CLEAR WATER??!!.....WHATS THAT?.....

In my river, you will be lucky to see your feet if they are handing over the side of the boat.....

(Its not called the "Tar River" for nothing).....

It gets a little more clear in the winter when other boats aren't stirring in up so bad....but its brown water....it gets it color from all the decaying leaves and vegitation... and swamp marsh....

[JUPITER PULSARE]

The upper Keys outer reef line from Fowey Rock to Ceasars Creek. When the ocean lays down flat you can run south from Fowey Rock along the reef line and see the bottom 15'-30' down, crystal clear full of coral, fish, sea fans, sponges, etc.

I do not go to many places, but last time I was at the Great Sacandaga Lake, it was super clean and clear.:thumbsup::thumbsup: Chuck

[RB in NM]

Best water I was ever in was up in north New Mexico, In tha' mountians at a 9000 ft elevation In a natural hot spring / pool nestled in the boulders, middle of the winter, light snow falling, butt azzed necked with a hot little girlfriend I had at the time, and Ice Cold Corona's stuck neck deep in the adjacent snow drift whilst I wuz stuck elsewheres.:rolleyes: Dayum them beers was good ! :p

[Forkin' Crazy]

Havasu and the Treasure Coast of Florida.

[Coupe427]

Best I've had my boat in was Guntersville in Alabama. Much better than the silt water here in Louisiana.

[delawarerick]

I got to say the Keys are great. Wife and I rented a carolina skiff with a 15 merc at Islmorada and had a great time in the bay and ocean. Rick

[NBT]

The clearest, the Keys out near the Marquesas, unbelievable.

Lake winnipesaukee, NH (1988)

Lake Cumberland , KY (1990) You go back in some of the coves, there are waterfalls . Dont know what its like today, but back then, you could go back in a cove and not see anybody all day. Of course, Party Cove is very public:smiletest: with great scenery:cool:

[perfmarine1]

Lake George,NY I remember scuba diving there years ago and when you get dry mouth from tank air just take a drink of the lake water. Never got sick. Many property owners use the lake water for there house water.

[2.5_stoker]

Lake Powell!!!...it may not be the clearest but it is an awesome lake! it has more shore line than the entire west coast and the scenery is unbelievable!!!

[Ron V]

Clearest? Toss up between Lake Mendota in WI and Lake Michigan. The propwash looks like snow on Lake Michigan.

Salt water....Crab Island at Destin, FL

Fresh water...Heber Springs in Arkansas.Crab Island is beautiful. One of my favorite places too.

[madtunnel]

:iagree: I grew up on Lake Broward and the water is crystal clear. My family owned a lake cabin there for over 30 years.

How cool is that I figured no one would know where I was talking about. our house was in the same cove as the city dock. The Atwell place large lot with a large block home and large two boat garage. That water was special you could go down there with say a cut on ya and the following week after swiming the cut would be heald up. some great times where spent there and the fishing was always good. Hemi where was yaws place.

[Michael J Giesler]

lily lake the lake i live on is really clean and clear Tiger's seen it but cleanest i've seen by far lake Superior when you can see down 100' that killer

[Erine]

Arkansas Bull Shoals, Norfork lakes.

[vspeedster]

Waupaca Chain O' Lakes Waupca, WI. Not the most room to go fast, but great water.

South China Sea In South East Asia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Visibility is 60 to 100 feet on any given day. Except after a Typhoon.

[Ace]

Dale Hollow, slate everywhere, clear and blue. Great place lots of coves.

[JR IN JAX]

South China Sea In South East Asia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Visibility is 60 to 100 feet on any given day. Except after a Typhoon.There have been several times we have dove the reef walls at the Jupiter Cut in WP Beach and had close to 100' visibility due to the Gulfstream flow. Sometimes it is less than 20' though.

[garrett24]

Salt water....Crab Island at Destin, FL

Fresh water...Heber Springs in Arkansas.

My favorite 2 as well

I have a beach house in destin and we rent a pontoon every year and go to crab island during the week of the 4th. I will be there next week.

Also have a house on the little red river in heber springs.

Ha ! Dad says it was super clear in Okinawa in '44 !!

Our water here in west florida is crystal clear like the Bahamas around Tarpon springs north . Really amazing ..but nothing like floating the STV around the Suwanee River !! No muddy crap just clear water and some flying Sturgeon in the spring and summer !!

[JohnR]

I do not go to many places, but last time I was at the Great Sacandaga Lake, it was super clean and clear.:thumbsup::thumbsup: Chuck

Gotta second Sacandaga. Lake George is really clean but there's too many rules and regulations there. Been in Lake Michigan a few times when we went to Silver Lake Dunes with the ATV's but never boated there. Water was super clean, probably clearer than George or Sacandaga.

The lake where I live you can see your feet if you're in up to your neck but they ain't too clear.

John

[outasite]

You guys from around the keys got it GREAT.But me being one of those northern boys just can't get jacked up over the salt water.My vote has to go to Tobomory Canada Lake Huron.Easy to watch a quarter land fourty feet under your boat.

[2Fast2Pass]

Dale Hollow! Clean, Clear, Deep, FRESH water.

[280power101]

My salt water opinion is a place called Salt Cay in the Turks and Caicos Islands I lived there for a year beautiful water goes from shallow to 60 to 80 and drops straight down 6000 feet

That's what I'm saying !! Only reason to go to the Keys is lobstering , offshore fishing for Dolphin (mahi ) and Wahoo or Bonefishing or Permit inshore . Otherwise we have it all right here !!

[terry taylor]

The baptismal pool :thumbsup::leaving:

[Fish]

bahamas. i've been bottom fishing in 80+ft, looked down at my bait and moved it away from a fish i did not want to get it towards one i wanted to catch.

[madtunnel]

Salt water off the BEUTIFUL coast of Florida

[baja200merk]

is this fresh water??? or coastal florida???

Fresh water is about 4 miles from the house salt is about 1.5. The lake is not as clear as the salt but there is always somewhere to run on the lake even if the wind is blowing :thumbsup:

[bigboy]

One of the nicest waters I've been in. Well it was with a canoe but at least I was able to boat on it:D. Only downside is that it's about 600 miles away!257849

[H20WKD]

It's pretty nice here....:eek:
