There are better ways of marking the lake. When I made the observation a couple of years ago it was met by the standard response that generally said "if you don't know the lake (like us old timers) then don't use it at night". Few people had any desire to change anything.

Lanier for example (Corps of Engineers) has a pretty standard system of markers for hazards, humps, channels etc. Some indicate don't pass between this stick and the shore etc. Channels and creeks are marked with red/green markers much as on the coast. If you have ever been caught out on the lake in a ddownpour you can learn to really appreciate these markers.
