I noticed shanty has a 10hp motor restriction. Are you allowed to run a motor larger than that at idle speed? Also has anyone fished it this year? Thx

You may want to double check first but I do believe this was one of the lakes where the state lifted the limit but for larger than 10 HP you must idle at all times.
I checked and yes this appears to be an idle only lake for engines larger than 10hp

Motors larger than 10 HP must
operate at idle speed at all times on
Beaver Lake, Boltz Lake, Bullock Pen
Lake, Corinth Lake, Cranks Creek
(Herb Smith) Lake, Elmer Davis Lake,
Kincaid Lake, Martins Fork Lake,
Shanty Hollow Lake and Swan Lake.
As small as it is you can cover the whole thing with a trolling motor in a decent amount of time.
