yes. Really rough. Lake Maurepas is actually worse, bout 5-10' deep so you have to be careful. Lake Ponchatrain is a bit deeper, bout 20 if memory serves, though there is a 60' hole by the Lake front airport where we used to catch BIG trout before Katrina, now not so much. Squalls can come up and if you are in a small boat in the middle, can be a tough situation. You keep going through the Rigolets or Lake St. Catherine or Chef's Pass to Lake Borgne(all three will get you there but the lake is another shallow one)...look at the horizon and next stop Cuba lol Florida lakes are large and shallow. Do the same thing. Visitors arrive and head out on their bass boats and get into big trouble. The waves are short tall and choppy. Often shallow enough that the outboard hits bottom on the low of the wave breaking the motor or the transom. |
