Not sure what your depth was reading as you were going out but right at the mouth of the channel it got as shallow as 2.9 ft and as we got farther out but still in the center of the channel, we found a spot as shallow as 2 ft. We were really surprised that Wake boat did not hit it's prop because I don't think they can trim up their props. How many boats were out there on Weds?Yes, there is a shallow hump at the mouth of the channel...if you are just a smidge off the main channel. But I never read less than about 4' going out. Howsomever, my transducer rides just below the bottom of my tube and I have a shallow draft. Boats might show as much as a foot or more less than my tube does...depending on where and how the transducer is mounted.
Only two boats out when I was there. You know who was in one of them. The other boat had a couple of guys who appeared to be soaking bait for catfish. And they moved around a bit...eventually fading away in the distance going toward the west dike. Never got to check with them to see how well they did.
