I am thinking about coming up on Sunday only if I can get around on the quad. I would be getting on the lake from Willow Beach and heading out to the deep water past Fox/Snake Island etc.... Is there any issues to worry about ? Thanks

Saw a few guys pushing it to try to get it out. Not sure about atv's but I see enough of the guys parked there with atvs and they seem to be ok. Maybe they are a member and can shed better light on this tho. Cheers.

Any fish?

Sounds like a tough slog for most ATVs.
