Don't know the depth now - the lake is a little lower than winter pool. If it gets below 283(?) they are going to close the ramps. My buddy was over today(lower lake) had no problems(nitro bass boat).
I can tell you there is an old island in the creek channel nearby that I hit hard back in the early 90's looking for eyes but never found any there. Used to get a lot of small crappies but that was before they started to decline over there.
Good luck

Go to the Navionics webapp and you can find the depth contours for Blue Marsh. Once you bring up the map, scroll to the lake, then start zooming to your spot. There will be an icon in the lower left of the screen. When you click on it, select"sonar charts" The contours should come up if you are zoomed in far enough. Subtract about 3 feet from the readings due to it being lowered for winter pool. You may need to view the lake in google earth first, so you know where to locate church road on Navionics. Navionics does show a stub of a road which I think is church road.

Thanks for the info guys. Just to be clear if I do fish I'm fishing from shore. Me and my family use to catch many walleyes from shore at muddy run this time of year before they shut it down

Just found the info looking like 9ft and less . If anyone knows where I can find over 15ft of water with rocks from shore please let me know. I miss late fall/winter walleye fishing.

Folks bank fish for walleye at the Falmouth Fish Comm boat launch. Rt 30 west to Columbia, then north on Rt 441. You really need to pay attention to see the sign for the launch on your left. The mouth of the Conestoga river at Safe Harbor Dam on the Susky is another spot people bank fish.

Yea... I'd look to the river for eyes too. Used to get them below Brunners Island along the "gut road" but haven't been over in awhile. I looked at my Blue Marsh map and could point you in areas that you are looking for BUT trust me I never did well LOL - plus they are long walks on foot. Most eyes(not a lot) are caught incidentaly by bass/crappie guys fishing trees and rumor has it the downrigger guys get some. We do get them below the dam(stilling basin) but that also needs very specific conditions otherwise it pointless(although a few do get caught during "off" time) but I rarely drive the ten minutes unless conditions are right.
