Past the draw bridge the middle is plenty deep, I know some of the marinas off to the side have stuff clearly marked so there so depth issue, but there are alot of big boats through there so it must not be too impossible. The idle from the draw bridge is only a few mins, I understand being busy. But. Close to everything means more money, so it's all a balance. I have family at wild wings, nice location, most of the time good water depth, they now have cleaners on site, but have never used them. Great place for the jug bite minus the traffic. Most places to get fish are normally not more than 8 to 10 miles. I think dockage there is around that 700 range.
