Yes.....several spots during low tide to watch.

At 9 mile cut.......About 50 to 100 yards north of the big sign that is out in the water. I have seen some motors hit the object and kick up.

At 9 mile cut.......When the water is low and the tide is moving, you can see a shallow area. This area is about 150 (?) yards out into the lake and 200 to 300 yards (?) south of the sign. Maybe someone can give a better discription of where these spots are located.

Also at low tide..........there is a shallow area south of the West end of the old Jetties. Stay close to the jetties or near the south bank and you will be ok.

The north enterance to West Cove.....once you get out into the Cove, it is a little shallow. Also north of this area......where the cut is that goes into Hog Island Gully. All the water in this part of West Cove can be shallow. All along the north shore of West Cove is shallow.
