Discretion is the better part of valor. Why tempt fate.
According to my notes, there is one rock about 18" below the surface in this area near the red/white buoy. There are 2 rocks about 24"-30" below the surface. There are several rocks in the 36"-48" range. Keep in mind that (A) those measurements are based on a lake level that is about 8" below the current reading and (B) I might have missed something. So, if your draft is less than three feet (and most boats are), you have, today, about a 99.8% chance of sailing through without incident. I, myself, never go through this area unless the prop is raised, I'm wearing polarized sun glasses (to see the rocks), and going less than 3 mph.
