Odd hazards in the lake

Group question, how much distance do you give a lakegull to move out of the way before you turn the boat?

None, I usually aim for them.

A year or so ago, southwest end of Welch, leaving narrows heading toward Gov'nrs, I saw and almost hit some 4x4x16ft PT lumber floating just below the surface.

Luckily I was able to flag down an MP to mark/fetch and I was going slow from just leaving narrows. Else at speed in the open, it would have been nasty.

Since you can't predict their escape path that is probably the best way, as long as you don't "correct your aim!"
