Thanks for the comments guys, glad you enjoyed the pics.

Darryl- you are an expert at something you did not even know the name of!

Yeah but an electric motor is a lot less exercise

Would you mind carrying my Ark, battery and motor up the Witte this weekend - quick way of covering a lot of water

HI Kevin

How deep would you say this stillwater is approximately overall.

Any more pics

Dave, I honestly don't know how deep the lake is, very deep in parts is the correct answer I think. We fished along the drop-offs and in some of the shallower open-water areas (25 - 30 ft deep).

How's this for a pic of the lake, not mine, but a nice aerial view:
