The hole behind the blue roof church (Island in the Son) & thru which the power line poles run is Deadman's Hole.
Kate's Hole is north of the power lines and can be accessed thru west Mustang Island State Park.
Deadman Hole is at the very north end of Kate's and separated from Kate's by a large flat.

here is where you can find similar maps, if you zoom in--you can see depth estimates.

If you are new to fishing that area and are on a kayak, please take note of the very shallow channel, marked by white stakes, that connects it to the ICW. (Note - the yellow stakes are not the channel) Boats entering and leaving Kate's/Deadman's from the ICW have to stay on plane to get in and out - not being rude (those that are using the channel), just can't shut it down. I have felt bad in the past when kayakers sit and fish the channel area but there is simply no choice but to keep it on plane. Once in the area, I try my best to give kayakers and waders plenty of real estate. Enjoy.

I have ran in there from the ICW cutting in between the 1st (2) spoil islands when entering the ICW from CC Bay. Boats I have done that in are, 16' Van Noy Skiff & 19' Pathfinder Tunnel. Fished it a lot from a 12' alum.Jon-Boat put in from the east side of Deadmans. We used to make that cut in and angle to hole via route between the two islands.
Its been a while tho' since fishing there,be "VERY" careful when running in from ICW,always explore new areas like this on High Tide and have a buddy and a plan.

And you are running over fish when you come in that way. Much better to come further south and come in with the white stakes.

^^ exactly

I know the Vanoy skiff that I witnessed 2 weekends ago trying to get to kates from the bay found out very quick that that north sand flat is SKINNY! Told my gf "hey, watch this pendejo" Sure enough, natures e-brake was engaged quickly. My boat drafts maybe 5" of water and it was skipping the bottom.

Rule on my boat is if you say "Lets go to dead man's" you go for a swim.
Twice while running the stakes I have gotten stuck hard due to other boaters and Kayaks. So I don't even try anymore not worth the trouble.
