They Just Keep Reproducing!
My buddy and I made 18 more buckets the other day. Got to make some more to fill the trailer then be ready for deployment.

Its amazing how fast they sink. We've had them sit up on actual ledge drops.
Stakes, then some pea gravel and cap it off with a couple inches of quick crete and just add some water. Let them sit a few days and your ready to sink.

nice work.. now for the stealth placement. Friend and I did a little over 200 a couple years ago. Used his 36' houseboat, removed an access floor panel and hot them all dropped and no one knew what we were doing

I used to turn the bail/handle on the buckets up within the stakes and drop them with a rope and S-hook. When they hit the bottom, I would pick them up and drop them hard a couple of times to make sure they were sitting upright then lower the rope to unhook the S-hook.
I did this until a friend of mine caught a guide on KY Lake using a grappling hook to catch the bails, raise, then move my friend's buckets to new locations. After a confrontation that included a promise of bodily injury if my friend caught the guy doing it again, the guide decided it was in his best interest to stop doing that.
I then stopped turning my bails upward.
