What "pole" a stern or anchor light?

Considering that Winni is a freshwater body and is relatively narrow, plus the majority of the boats are fiberglass and I would guess that few (if any) are actually "bonded", the lightning strike danger is more real than imagined. ESPECIALLY in narrow areas, like most NWZs.
