Bird Island can be tricky to fish, but each side is different. The southeast arm goes out shallow for hundreds and hundreds of yards. I give it about half mile when crossing it. The southwest arm drops off pretty fast. The southern arc has a pretty even bottom and I have never encountered any rogue rocks there. The east side is similar from my experience. I call the west side the "Briar Patch" since it has all kinds of rock hazards and even a steel t-post that seem to come out of nowhere. Not quite as bad on the north from my limited experience there. Regardless of where you fish there, going slow and keeping the motor as shallow as possible is just a smart thing to do.
