Here is some general tips we cam up with:

When pulling from the boat hook the lope thru a eyelet on the bow and aft of the boat or cable car method (pulley style).

All surfaces will get messy, so don't where designer jeans

Flag your area for reference in applying material and where you want to end up on each pass will be great assistance also. Tie rope(s) off to 4 wheelers etc.

Use a scale to weigh a solo cup of material and then put into scoop. Mark the area for future reference. That way we took the guessing game out of the equation. KISS method.

When wind is not a factor the scoop and shake method works pretty well, but be deliberate in spreading when wind is present-throw it at the water surface.

Have a great 3 buckets labeled (A,B, Bentonite)-sing a song while applying-keeps it all together.

Then have a guy or gal on shore yelling stroke when its time to pull the boat.

Dave if theres more chime in here.
