I was out at Willard last night in my pontoon. I was going to try to get around paying the $9.00 entrance fee by launching at the inlet channel, but that's gated now. There's no water in the south marina except for some puddles. There's really not much water in the north marina either, but there's enough for boats to launch.
They seemed to be having trouble getting in and out of the marina, but the jet ski's weren't.
All in all it was a pretty quiet evening. A few boats, a few jet ski's, and one small catfish on a rapala. I tried trolling prism shad but didn't have any takers.
I started having the same thought process that you're having. I'd be better off taking my tube and launching off the dike. The pontoon with the motor and the battery would be a recipe for a broken leg at the least, but i think it'd be manageable with the tube.
Good luck when you go.
