My guess would be 11:00.

Yup, just checked their calendar and they are open 11 AM - 10PM this Saturday.

If it is too nuts we will head to Shorty Pants or Jolly Rogers.

I checked their site for upcoming events and all it brings up is a YouTube video. We may have to make a few different stops.

Did anyone stop at F n L last weekend? It seems like the lake is low for this time of year and was curious how shallow it was at the docks.

I'm guessing that everything under the bridge and the front few slip are probably mighty shallow. It was even shallow in the first slips at C Rons last weekend.

Ya, we stopped there for the Harbor Hop and it was shallow. Granted, we were on a 52 SeaRay so our draft was a bit more than usual, but we were stirring up some muddy water. I'd keep a close eye on your depth gauge... or just drink a lot and not worry about it!

Here's another question - any thoughts on the best place to watch football on Sunday?

What do you guys consider shallow?

In my home marina, my depth gauge only reads 2.5-3 feet most of the time (on the IL River) (bottom that is, lol)
