Been there myself. Onieda can be a dangerous lake<br />It's shallow and when the wind kick's up watch out !!<br />I run a shallow V with a big outboard and a big setback plate and let me tell you , more then once I've wondered if I'd be swimming home.<br /><br />Be safe out there !!<br /><br /> Baja
