i agree,
in 2001 in early april, we were coming back to huron after a great day north at the junkyard and i hit the tip of the shoal where usually there is a red buoy. the buoys were not placed yet. limped home with a damaged prop. even had my gps. although with many years of experience, since 1979 fishing erie.
my point is, no matter how much you think you know, there is always that day that brings you down to earth. had i been just 100' more south, there would have been no issues......tight lines to all....
