An inexpensive marker buoy can be made with a 2- to 3-foot section of 4-inch-diameter bright-yellow foam pool noodle.
Poke a hole a couple of inches from one end, and tie a loop of 1∕8 -inch nylon rope through the hole.
Attach a large snap swivel to the loop, then a measured length of nylon line, and end with a sash weight or multiple sinkers wrapped with duct tape.
