Oh, the two lake rules that will surprise you the most:
150' rule - you must slow to headway speed within 150' of other boats or shore. Give everyone a wide berth.
No rafting zones - the best place to raft on the lake are designated NRZ. You can't tie more than 2 boats together and you need to keep 25' between anchored boats. 50' if two boats are tied together.
The biggest difference with Florida is rocks. If you go on the wrong side of the markers you will quickly be in the rocks. It's not like the markers only apply to big boats. The marker have logic but it's not perfect, use the chart.
