boat us sites there waiting most of the time for people to run aground lol. I was told that the west side of the sandbar is really shallow this year so go in slow.

if you put in at Dempseys dont put your drive all the way down until after you clear the break wall there is a rock or something on the bottom just about right in the middle at the end of the breakwall and it will trash your prop if you hit it

Also, don't go west out of PIB unless you go north of Gibraltar island first it may look like a neat way to go but it is very very shallow in between the sw point of Gibraltar and the closest point of south bass island.

a buddy tore up the bottom of his jet boat trying to go thru there a few years ago when the water was even deeper than what it is now best thing to do is follow the jet express if you are unsure of where to go

Just get on the right side of the green marker coming in the bay on the eastside of the island and your fine. You want to be between the green marker and Gibraltar island. Then stay in between the markers and it will take you right downtown!! Spent this last weekend at the bay and had a great time like always. Kellys is fun and more laid back but the bay has wayyyy better bars,food and night life! Have Fun!!!
