Who Says You Can't Go Boating In November In Wisconsin

[MacGyver]

66° on 11-7-09 was too tempting. Unfortunately, the waters were really, really quiet :( I only saw a handful of fishing boats and one other sport boat. Some dude fishing from shore was yelling and screaming at me for some reason :rolleyes: Hey dude, the slow-no-wake buoys are gone, so STFU :sifone:

Boat Yard was open, but quiet.

Fratello's was open, but quiet.

Lakeside looked like a shrink wrap ghost town.

Cool Dude!! Had 2 B more fun than yard work!!!!:sifone:

[03darkshadow]

agree with wrink, that had to be more fun than a lot of things.

I did get a little nervous going across lake Butte Des Morts and the depth gauge dropped below 2.5 feet as I was doing 50MPH. The area is usually shallow to begin with, but the water level is down 8 to 10" right now which made it worse.

Kinda strange having no slow-no-wake buoys or channel markers out there.

That part of Butte des Morts is always shallow.

If you were that far north of the river channel I guess you would've seen some shallow water. The river channel is a straight shot from Tilly's to the mouth. If you get south of it, you'l find some pretty shallow water over the dredge bank.....oh ya, and some old cars.

I've always followed the shore with no problems. Guess I need to go further south for my next Novenber run :26:

Don't you fallow the channel markers during the season?

[MacGyver]

Actually the northernmost marker is up where I run.

[Scarab KV]

:huh: That's odd. Usually they set them on a straight line from Tilly's to the mouth.

[MacGyver]

Theres one in the middle of the lake and another way north. I'll see if I can find a chart with the placement.

Is it possible you're mistaking the marker going into the channels off Harbour Dr as a channel marker?

Thats close to the path I run. I think I placed the push pins a tad to far north on the map.
