The jetties used to be very visibile even in high tides. Now, you can hardly see them even in low tides.
Those of you fishing Big Lake who don't know about this major navigation hazard (and pretty good fishing area) should heed caution while motoring on the south side of the lake. |
The jetties are marked a few times.....GPS maps.....Markers on both ends....Its the boaters responsibility to know and navigate waters for obstructions... Any map of the lake or simple GPS has the old jetties marked...
I dont think the Coast Guard is liable for the rocks......They are stationary...
You should know common knowledge of navigated waterways..Thats from the WL&F
