No you are correct.. This is done all over the lake, usualy below the ice 5-6 feet down. This way you can still find them and pull them to the surface. Also since they are further below they do not get encompased in the ice flow so not to move your mooring / tackle.
I can't see how fisherman trolling would be an issue. As pointed out in the inital post there are plenty more markers in the middle of the lake year round, where these are close to shore.
Unless a fisherman is 25 feet off my dock (which would also be very difficult to troll by) I think you would be fine.
