Yes, it is open,no dock ,a little bit shallow but I didn't have any trouble with my 19 footer last weekend.

I couldn't even guess the best area to fish, but probably the Vermont side south from Westport would be a good place to start. I am launching at Chimney Point and fishing my way North. Unless you find bait ,the bite has been very slow for me. Spend some time scouting and mark the bait, then keep working it. Fish from 40 up unless you want Lakers which can still be caught on bottom in most depths including very shallow near shore.
