re: To power pole or not to power pole?

I'm similar. My father-in-law winters in Florida and is fascinated by power poles. However, we fish an dammed lake that, for the most part, drops off to 20 feet within 10-15 feet of the shoreline. I just don't think that he'll get much use out of the power pole and have tried to gently dissuade him from it, but he's infatuated. Oh well, it's his money, but I just don't think he's going to get that much use out of it in a lake this deep.
