I don't believe this poses a danger to very many lake boats as it appears to me the rocks are all deeper than 5', but you may want to verify yourself (carefully). I've fished there with trolling motor in the past. It looks scary though, cuz you can see them pretty clearly. The Witches, the Graveyard, near Eagle Is., and near Pistol Island are the real gotchas.

Another place that nearly got me was up near FL72 in Moultonborough Bay. My brother was driving as I was enjoying the view. We were passing through bouy pairs all the way up there with black on the left, red on the right, then all of a sudden I noticed they were opposite colors! I said "stop the boat!" and looked over the side to see a massive boulder just a foot or so below the water off the starboard side. The water was over 20 feet deep all around it!

Watch the chart and know exactly what bouy you're looking at at all times!
