re: getting to cutoff lagoon from stump lagoon?

By the way, once you get off the main waterway you need to be careful of water depth. Someone on here might be able to enlighten you further on the wind directions to watch for, but if the wind blows the wrong direction for a day or two, stump lagoon can be <1' deep in the middle. I've run aground there before. Never hit a stump yet but I'm sure it wasn't named stump lagoon if there aren't some underwater obstacles. This isn't an undue risk IMO since anywhere you fish for reds there's a chance of shallow water, but just be careful and good luck with the fishing!
