So I hope you didn't find the boat operator with your prop? Hope no one is missing currently, just a boat got away...
I hit an underwater island on Cutler two weeks ago and they really get your attention fast... Luckily mine was with the boat body before the prop got there, so we saved the prop and was moving slow enough it didn't hurt anything, but it sure woke me up... The ice sheared all the bulrushes off the islands in Cutler last winter, so now nothing is visible to show you where to avoid and the roots from the bulrushes stick up a foot or so off the 1.5' deep bottom so they are just right to cause some pain this year... If you're new to Cutler, be very careful going faster unless you know you are in a safe lane... I know the pond pretty well and still hit this island, so be careful... Later Jeff

When things get stressful think I'll go fish'en and worry about it tomorrow!
