I could be wrong on this but I understood his situation to be more
complicated, something like a 2 ft sand bar followed by 6 ft of deep
water before he got to the beach. If he's in SWFL there's a lot of
skinny water to be negotiated at times.


Sounds like a good place for some 'poling'!



If you really want to run the back bays here you need a skinny water
boat.
If you are waiting for 3 feet of water you might be poling for a
couple miles. The channel may not be 2 feet between #28 and #30 going
into the Estero River. It wasn't when I took the pictures above. That
is a typical low tide, It gets lower.


Naw, it's just a small sand bar. Full bore through it. Sand be damned,
that's what I say. Shiver me timbers.
