I do have a GPS chart plodder with the Bizer map of the lake.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Except for spar buoys that have been broken off, most of them should still be usable. The flashing buoys may not be out, but most of them have a spar nearby.
Bizer's map has a "safe route" for most of the lake's navigation, so you should be able to navigate observing the spar buoys out there, checking them with a Bizer map (I use the folded laminated that has four sections of the full map to it. Easy to use at the helm as opposed to the full map), and check yourself with the safe route dashed line on your GPS.
Enjoy the ride, and take it a little slow, keeping an eye out for debris. You will do fine.
