This past Saturday my brother and I took our boys, 4 and 6, out to Calling Lake. We trolled West from the PP boat launch in a heavy chop along the shore and about 1/2 mile from the launch came across a sunken fiberglass boat about 80 feet from shore. Just the bow and windshield visible.
Nobody in sight. And we did dare get too close to shore as the wind was really picking up. We assumed it had been there for a few days.
When the heavy wind chased us back to the launch 2hrs later a fellow mentioned that it the boat had sank that same morning, and that the two guys had to swim to shore. Luckily it was a very short swim.
The wind can prove deadly on any lake. Be careful out there and be watchful for changing conditions.
