Depth: 20 ft on record
Deepest figure on record: 20 ft (6.1 m), as published by Webster, K.E., McCullough, I.M., Soranno, P.A. LAGOS-US DEPTH v1.0, EDI, doi:10.6073/pasta/64ddc4d04661d9aef4bd702dc5d8984f (CC BY 4.0); Cheruvelil et al. LAGOS-US LOCUS v1.0 (EDI). We hold no survey map of this bottom, so we show no depth bands.
What is hard here
Wind is the limit, not the fish: 7,190 acres of open water build a short steep chop, and there is no shelter in the middle. Summer water sits at 85°F: heat and afternoon lightning are the real risks, not the fishing.
