I am willing to make up a few and get them up there if I can get a hint or 3 on where to sink them, and how tall it needs to be.

LMBarnett, If I was making boo buckets I would not make them much more than half the depth of the water tall. The depth of the pool, for the majority is about 8 to 10 foot deep. So somewhere between 4 to 6 Foot tall would probably serve best. As to where to sink them, i would try and keep them out of the shute into the pool, and put them more towards the actual round part of the pool. Some know and some dont know, but the shallow end of the pool is the west end it has a ridge under water that drops of into about 6 or 7 foot of water, that ridge runs from where the colvert dumps into the pool to the other bank on a southwestward angle. The middle area of the pool needs some attention when it comes to structure, there is not much in the mid section at all. The eastern side of the pool needs structure added as well. Hope this help you out with what you were asking.
