You can't find some big rocks to put on the pallets to sink them? You don't need anything fancy just weight. I don't think it'll take much to weight them down..

Other than that I think your over engineering it.. make 3 piles 2 pallets deep in about 2 ft of water.. make the piles in different spots every year which ever spot seems to get the most action after a couple years stick to thst as your sweet spot and build on thst location..

I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..
