Thread: Fishing tomorrow!

Was thinking something a but bigger than a trailer sailor.... one day.

I see the reef that runs along the Pepin side... is there another that runs across the channel?

Sounds like the kind of thing to plan for an hour before HWS... on a calm day... maybe scope the channel with a dinghy and sounder first. That hole inside the entrance, just to the East looks like a nice gunk hole to camp up at.

The bar is not a problem if calm just hug the island side, the shallow stretch of no real channel I have marked is what stops us small boats being able to get in and out and the bottom there is like riverstones....bad for props...if can get past that your in then there is a finger of reef that sticks out across the channel...It's about 1m at low water at its deepest.
A reconnaissance mission in a dingy would be a good idea.
In my wee boat I need 2ft of water minimum to putt with the motor up. Spring tides I work on I need to be no later than 1.5 hours before Nelson low tide or 2 hours after to be able to get in out or in.
Neap tides can usually just sneak in on low but still like to have the incoming to come in.
