Yeah, Location is one thing I will have to look harder at. Seems all My locations are in the deeper water for my area and won't allow me to go much shallower to dodge current. Put 5 piles in last year. each were limbs about 6 feet long. 2 tied to a cinder block filled with concrete. I figured it weighed about 60 pounds. All disappeared this year.

the current on My waters doesn't get bad. just some movement when it rains. these are coastal rivers with little tidal influence. Looking for ideas on making the piles stick.CF
