Well, TD pretty much answered you question and sent you some good info. I have fished around BI now going on 15 years. If you are planning to take your boat up around or near BI be careful. Keep one eye on your sonar for fast bottom changes, and one eye on the water surface around you. If you see a bush sticking out of the water, there will be rock not very far under it. If you see a bird of any kind "walking" on the water, well his feet are probably only a couple inches under the water on a rock.
There is a rock arm that comes out from the south east area of the island and runs just under the water. I have personally heard at least one boater loose his lower unit on his outdrive by hitting that arm at a very good clip.........and there have been many others that have done everything from a minor prop blade ding to a sheared prop shaft and holed the bottom of their boat. Right now the water depth is better than it has been for several years, but it can change over night.
If you go out from Lincoln Beach, just head mostly straight north-east ish. You will see the island a good half mile or more before you get to it. Stay to the west until you can move in closer at dead slow speed.
Good luck. [fishin]
