Well
I have to admit, I too am one of those victims who inadvertently slipped inside the Witches markers.
This week I was taking guests for a tour of the Lake, ending with the story of "you never know where you may find rocks pop up in seemingly open water" ( circling what I thought was the outer boundary of the Witches). I was cruising at around 20-25 MPH when I look up to see a Red Top about 75 yds off my port side ( YIKES). Immediately killing the engine, I found myself ( embarrassingly) in 3-4 ft of water and all kinds of rocks dead in front.
Fortunately we inched our way out but it was quite the embarrassment seeing as I have over 20 years " local knowledge" yet STILL found myself inside the NO GO ZONE.
I do not want to blame it on the missing markers, but I will tell you that after clearing from the area, I did idle there for 5 minutes trying to figure out how I screwed up so badly.
Not one of my best days on the Lake..... But it does go to prove ALWAYS be attentive while driving
