My only addition is use cinder blocks (something disposable) for anchors (standard Navy anchors get snagged) and never use reverse to pull the anchor out. Watched a boat get swamped on the reverse trick. We used to throw 3 cinder blocks all on seperate anchor lines

Closer to the east shoreline is deeper from Orleans Park to Ft Meigs. Stay left of 2nd column when heading to bridge and under (going upstream)

& the DNR WILL BE WATCHING
