Has anyone been to Zoar since the drawdown started? Any issues launching?

We decided to hit Lake Lillinonah because the draw down wasn't supposed to start until the 24th. Well we got to the launch and the water level was looooowwww, way low. The water was probably 6' past the end of the concrete ramp, and it dropped off almost a foot at the end of the ramp. There was no way you could ever get the boat down into the water. So we hit the 2nd launch and while the level wasn't any better, the ramp was in a little better shape, so we were able to get the boat in the water.
Spent most of the day fishing the shoreline, and picked up a few LMB & SMB, but nothing of any size. Tons of structure along the banks, which should make for great spots when the water level is back to it's normal level.
We got back to the ramp about 7 hours after we started, and the water was down another foot from when we started. We managed to get the boat back on the trailer, but the guy trying to pull his big fiberglass cruiser out wasn't having as much luck trying to get his back on the trailer.....

I drove over Lake Zoar on Route 84 on my way to New Jersey on Saturday and couldn't believe how low it is. There's a lot of mud covered shoreline that's usually never exposed. It looks like a good time to learn your way around the lake, though.
