Seriously, do people really get bent out of shape if someone discreetly skinny-dips at the lake? I've been doing it for almost 25 years and still enjoy it. The key word here is "discreetly"! I'm not flaunting my nudity to the world! I'm simply getting in the water and swimming naked! What's the big deal? I do it EVERY morning I'm up here, weather permitting and I doubt that anyone (OK, maybe a couple) has ever seen me! But the other night, as I was getting out at the pier, my neighbor (a guy) was returning from somewhere in his boat and his HEADLIGHTS (looked like a damn eighteen-wheeler!) flashed across my pale little derriere as he turned to approach his boatlift! He was at least 300 feet out in the water! This morning, he has lectured me sternly and it has ticked me off! Is that really such a big deal for folks?

I don't like to skinny dip in Lake Martin for fear of some big striper taking a liking to my Little Red Wiggler.........wait a second, I meant my big red wriggler!
Actually I almost drowned laughing when a friend and I were swimming near our boat on a night cruise with a bunch of our kids. We decided to show them what an albino turtle looked like when someone on the boat shined the light on our exposed, very pale, where the sun don't shine derrieres. My daughters still shake their heads at that one and claim some sort of mental health harm. I have never laughed so hard in my life.......
Tell your neighbor to turn off the $@#*@ light and no harm, no foul...... If it were my neighbor I would have them over for a few drinks so we could crack jokes at their expense......some people have no sense of humor.

Were you noodling for catfish? If I were your neighbor and had kids, I would be concerned. Maybe, he is jealous and doesn't want his wife to see you. Otherwise, just stay away from his property. I think you and your neighbor need to compromise. Don't swim naked when he is around.

once you stepped onto the pier over water you were on OUR property...lol. I would tell him to kiss it where his docking lights shined if it were me. Although my skinny dipping days are behind me, I still chunky dunk form time to time in private coves, or even big water after dark. Don't want to see it, don't look!

That I would do the naked noodling, no piercings, but a fish with good glasses may just get a lucky hit.... As far as the skinny-dipping goes, I do not see any problem if there are not any kids around.

Some people are such prudes. Tell him to kiss off!
Be thankful you are where there a still a few secluded coves.
I'm on the main channel here and way above the lake level. I get to see far more than I ever want to. And mostly folks that really ought a keep their clothes on. But I say to each their own. What happens at the lake, stays at the lake right?
Swim on!

If you don't want to see it, then don't look! There's a whole 360 degrees for you to just look somewhere else. It's really not that difficult. There are NO children near us, unless you count the adults who act like children, so I really don't see what the big deal is! I wonder if the woman across the slough, a thousand feet away, watching with binoculars, may have been offended! I sure hope not. (The sun came up unexpectedly early that day;-)

Borrow a jet ski and do figure 8s in front of your neighbor's dock buck naked at 12 noon. He'll be more concerned about
NO WAKE !!!

That would depend on exactly where the 490 mark falls but swim away my friend, I couldn't care less. Heck you can even swim off my pier nekkid if you like. I want watch though, unless you have a lovely spouse with you. I can promise you this, you will not be the first to do so, and hopefully not the last. There has even been more than swimming happening on my pier, or at least, that's what the neighbors tell me....but not till a few days later....lol... ;<)

Nope, idle by in the CAT BOAT standing between two rumbling supercharged bigblocks with the hatch open. Whew, I got to go. Headed to the Lake Store for a couple of days.

It's one of the signs posted on the Tiki Bar on the pier, along with "swimming is more dangerous at our age, lifeguards don't try as hard", and the always classic, "men, no shirt, no service, women no shirt, FREE drinks"

I wonder if your neighbors response would have been the
same if it would have been a swimsuit model (minus work attire) out there
instead of you? But I will advise you to
read my last forum chat about fish bites last weekend! Ouch.

Now that your neighbor is really upset with your High Noon ride around, you apologize and tell him how you can understand him not wanting you to ride naked at noon. You then offer him a choice so he can be part of the solution...would he prefer that you go swimming naked at 6 PM or at late at night? Be firm that those are the two choices and he can decide. Obviously, night will be preferable and he can tell everyone he forced you to stop riding at noon and swimming at diner time. He will have "won" and you will keep swimming buck naked at night. Be careful noodling naked........

This makes me think of another " matter of opinion " issue on this lake. Do your thing my friend! Tell your neighbor that docking lights are for docking, not from 300 feet away, and in exchange you will get an arse spray tan to blend in!!

I fully intend to continue skinny-dipping... discreetly, of course. Or maybe in his case, NOT so discreetly.;-) His demanding attitude just ticked me off! I just figure as long as there are no children around, and I'm not flaunting my nakedness, why shouldn't I be able to do something that Ive greatly enjoyed for at least 25 years! I just get annoyed with people who think that nudity and sex are synonymous. They're not. I guess I'm probably just a frustrated nudist, at heart but I've always tried to be discreet about it. Admittedly, there have been mishaps...like falling asleep on the pier, just after sunrise, and being awakened by a boatload of six or seven college girls who had quietly navigated to within about ten feet of me, yelling "SURPRISE!" I jumped straight up and they all had a big laugh, but I discovered that I can get in the water pretty quickly if I have to! ;-) I thought 'WTH are college girls doing up this early, anyway?' After that, I always made sure I had a dang towel with me! You know, that same boatload of girls came by my pier every morning for about a week! I made sure that I was in the water, but they'd stop and chit-chat with me and never seemed bothered that I was skinny-dipping at sunrise. Too bad my neighbor is not as tolerant!
BTW, did you know that most mornings, the water at Lake Martin is crystal clear. Hmmmmm. ;-)

Do a nekkid rain dance where he can see you, especially if it is raining or storm clouds are rolling in.
