Willow and cypress tops sure are hard to beat and I do all my brushpile dropping during the winter months when fishing pressure is somewhat low. I can haul these out to several spots and sink them with no one knowing where I put them....well, maybe a couple, but not all.

I do like tying 2-3 gallon jugs filled with spray foam to keep the brushpiles off the bottom a foot or two and I drop 3-5 good size tree tops per brushpile. I add each year to the same pile or at least next to it.

I can usually bring out 10-20 tree tops per load...sounds alot or how in the heck does he do it. I learned this one from my cousin. I gather 3-5 trees, lay them on the ground, tie the ends together and then wrap a line around all and pull it tight with my tractor! It shrinks them down to the size of a #3 washtub and I load them into the boat. Once I reach my spot, I roll the first bunch over the side and untie the rope wrapped around them, and spring, sprang, sprung, it opens up like before they were bound! All I have to do now is tie on the jugs and weights and let it go down.

Oh, I also like using Sweetgum trees to, but the limbs sure are touch getting tackle back from...
