A lighthouse on the Witches?

[Descant]

Although there really aren't, to my knowledge, many accidents on the Witches, I bet the predominant number occur during the day.

I honestly think middle ground shoals is way more dangerous than the witches since it occurs in the broads and kinda comes out of nowhere. Though neither should be intimidating to any boater with a map!

They could call it “Flatlander light”

Now thats a PERFECT use for the dive!
Additional navigational aid AND a burger & a beer if you chop rock with your prop.

I agree, up close inside a bass boat reveals a lot of refrigerator sized boulders. A lot of very big stuff submerged there that could do a world of hurt on your hull or engine prop. As mentioned it "kinda comes out of nowhere".

In six summers, I've not heard of Middle Ground Shoals--where is it?

Believe it is south of Cow and west of Swetts Pt, in T'boro

Yes, South of Cow - near passage between Cow and Tuftonboro Neck.

What map is that? It looks gross, but is it a more technical chart?

Here it is! I never knew it had a name--on my GPS it's just marked as it's a venomous snake or Danger! Will Robinson with a ton of markers.

It’s the Navionics Boating App for iPhone.

@thinkxingu Wow, knowing you and knowing where we are on the lake I was going to be super surprised if you didn't know this. It's like the mini-witches over this side of the lake. Glad you did know about it, just not its name!

From where we're coming from, we never go close to there--it's either along the shore from/towards the Barber Pole or on the other side by Ragged/Hole/Sandy.

Huh, I've spent a little time fishing around Middle Ground and never saw a threat to my little outboard. Shallow enough to see bottom but didnt see anything less than 5 ft deep. Did I miss the prop threats out there?
