Fished Willard Weds for the first time this season, I have several questions that maybe someone could enlighten me on. When we launched at North Marina I noticed that the shallow water markers on either side of the ramp had been removed the water is still shallow there, I backed my trailer straight down the center of the ramp following the yellow line, plenty of water. A fisherman in an inflatable pontoon boat told me i had done the right thing by staying in the middle of the ramp. he said the day before someone tried to launch off to the west edge of the ramp and got in a real pickle with trying to launch over the rocks they had dumped on both sides of the ramp. Who's BRAIN FART was that pulling up the shallow water markers on the ramp? The next thing I noticed when we were trolling near the island was that the three white markers that i thought were placed where the island was are not actually on the island but several hundred yards to the East.... My Lowrance indicated the correct location of the island as we approached....is the this suppose to be some sort of a weird joke played on the water users or just idiots not knowing where the island actually is or did they put some structure in that location? Just curious.
