CVAkayakfishing

Not sure about Sandy but I was out on Briery this past Saturday. Water temps were 54-55 degrees and this was mid-day so had some time to warm up. We're about to get a warm spell here with highs in the 70's and lows in the 40-50's so it may start to pick up.

I fish there plenty but from a kayak so if I run up on a stump it's not a huge deal. Your biggest problem will obviously be your trolling motor catching a stump. Depending on the recent weather you can usually see 2-3 feet in the water there so you'll see most stumps before they get you. Most of the stumps and brush stick out of the water so you'll know they're there and they tend to congregate. Plenty of people fish out of there in aluminum in fiberglass boats so I'd just say to take it slow and you should be perfectly fine.
