Anybody here ever live on a lake or inlet?

I always wished I lived on a body of water. Example would be yesterday. I worked a 12 hour shift and was home at 6:30 pm. It was great weather and was cooling off. Instead of grabbing a drink and turning on the TV to relax I wish could have grabbed a drink and jumped in the boat to fish for two hours and be back in time to help with dinner.
Anybody ever live on a lake, river, or an inlet? How often did you take advantage of it?

Your dinner is 8:30 - 9:00?

We usually eat late as well during the summer.
I've lived on the lake before and loved it but was a bit younger then.
My wife and I are seriously considering a move to water in the next couple is years.

You are missing the point.
Wife works late and I eat with her when she gets home.

We try to stay at our place on the lake whenever the wife is off work during the summer. I can get there by 4:30 or 5, hop in the boat with the kids, hit a wakeboard session and be back to grill burgers. Love it. Wish we could do it all the time, but I would probably never get anything done.

my cousin lives in a cabin on a private 100 acre lake that only 8 other people live on. Most of the other folks there don't fish. It's basically paradise. I spend a couple weeks every year there fishing and hunting. He goes fishing most days after work. He rarely has to buy meat

Grew up on Lake Sinclair in Georgia. Parents still live there. It was about a 30 minute ride to school everyday, but one of my buddies lived on the lake close to school so I would park my truck at his house and drive the boat home everyday when the weather was good. Still do plenty of fishing and swimming when we go to visit my parents.

It has it's pros and cons.
Pros, like you mentioned, are being able to fish after school/work, nice view, friends want to come to your house. They go home, your already home afterwards.
Cons, we killed a lot of snakes... Lots of snakes. They were in the pool, laying up by the house, crossing the yard. Had gators in the yard quite a few times. Mosquitos.
As someone else said, we lived about 15 minutes from school.
I was raised out there from newborn until freshmen year of high school. I don't know how my parents did it, but they let me run wild. I'd love for my kids to have that experience, but only now at 6 and 4 would I even consider it.

We live on the Diversion Canal, lots of boat traffic on the summer weekends, nice a quiet the rest of the time. It is great to sit out on the dock and have drinks with the neighbors. It is like being on vacation every afternoon.

That's not a con.
BTW, the wife and I made a pact about moving. We will not move until we can be on water.

Damn baw, how late y’all eat?

We have a lake house as a second house about 30 minutes away. Close enough I can drive over there hop in the boat and ski or fish or pontoon around after work. But it's even better on the weekends when we spend the night there. I wake up at 5-6 before everyone else and Grab a cup of coffee. I'll then sit at the dock and wet a line while everyone else is still sleeping. Pull up a pan fish and bread fry it for breakfast.

Live on the water when I'm not traveling. Been here for 42 years.

Think of it like a pool. There will be things to bitch and complain about. You many not even utilize the water once the newness wears off. But it’s really nice to have it when you want it.
