J9lake, welcome to the forum.
We will go down into Robert's Cove to anchor on occasion. There is a nesting pair of loons who use a floating nest on the south side of Plum Island. If the pair are successful, it is enjoyable to anchor between the island and the entrance into the Robert's Cove Marina area and watch them.
With a west or northwest area, the Cove can get choppy. There is a Cove opposite Plum Island that overall is a mooring field and it is pretty well sheltered. Don't know if that is Cedar Cove.
Robert's Cove is also a popular place for water skiers and wakeboarders, and they can throw up quite a wake, especially if they come down one side of the island, make a turn, and go back up the other side. It can be quite the ride if anchored where the wakes meet.
It is pretty good fishing, but the rock bass are becoming more prevalent, not a good thing.
