Was there last Thursday, about 2 ft deep in flat going out, however, no matter how low it get's there's a underwater ditch that stays at least 3ft deep & is to the RIGHT of the PVC pole about 15yds & runs at a 45 degree angle (2 o'clock) to the PVC pole for maybe 75 yds...on-plane I never have any issues, but if you have in the past I wouldn't recommend trying in a boat you couldn't get out & pull off a sand bar....
