So, after cutting, wrestling with, and getting poked all over my arms and legs by 6-7 different cedar trees, I got a couple of spots set up LOL.
I did have some trouble getting the trees to sink with them looped over the post, so I ultimately just ended up using the posts as a marker and used cinder block pieces tied to the trees to sink them around the posts.
I plan to put out 5 or 6 more areas in no more than 8-10 ft of water and then maybe 2-3 spots spread out in the deeper 12-15 ft open area.
Really cool idea!
