Shoal #2
Off the front shoreline is a ledge of rock. A small part of which forms what I call Gull Island. Gull Island is really just a small bit of the rock which juts out of the water, but the gulls congregate there and there is usually plenty of gull guano as a result (which luckily the rain washes away now and then).
Anyway, apparently, this rock formation has been the site of one of the lakes major pickerel spawning beds. Pickerel populations have been overfished in the last few years, so the lake association (MLLA) has decided to beef up the spawning beds. So with permission from the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) they've started adding rock to extend the favorable conditions for spawning.
Cool!!
