There is a sand bar kinda straight out from Mitchels Bay and kinda north of Stoney Point. Sorry can't give exact co-ordinates, but a quick look at a map should get you close. For years we have gone there after seeing a bunch of boats anchored and figuring it was a hot spot. As we got closer we looked through binoculars and could see dogs running around!! We nose up to the sand bar and anchor in the shallow waters. While Honey is floating around in her life jacket I was fishing, I cast over the edge of sand bar, it goes from 2 feet down to 10 feet. Caught my largest perch there, 14" looked more like a small wallet than a perch. It's a nice place, all sand no weeds and the water temp is higher there than the open lake. Just look for a cluster of anchored boats, they won't look like fishing boats is the clue.

Thanks a lot.

As for swimming we usually follow the Indian marking poles west until find some clear water, then just anchor beside one, will put you in the 5 feet of water range.
