I'm strictly catch and release out there but I wonder how the majority of ppl do and what they keep out of it.
Loon Pit has a lot of shallow areas on the North End near the Launch ramp. If you hang to the EAST side of the pit when heading South out of the Northern Ends concrete launch ramp you have deeper water. (relatively deeper than if you head out straight to the South and don't veer towards the East Bank. There is an Island directly South of the launch ramp on the North End of Loon Pit. When the water's down you can clearly see it. And there are many shallow areas to the South of the Island. The water changes depth often in this area. Now if you can ever manage to get out on the Western Edge of this pit in the Most Northern Part of Loon Pit there is plenty of deep water. It's too bad they didn't build the launch ramp on the Western Part of the pit instead of where it is. Now with the water being so high this spring it should be easier to reach the deeper Western Area of the pit.

During the summer months the submergent weeds help you to see the relatively shallower areas as the weeds grow to the surface. So you can see where the weeds are and where they are not. The areas free of weeds on the surface should be the relatively deeper areas. I've not figured this part of Loon Pit out as for as where the deeper channels run though the shallower areas.
