Fill blind with water to the top.. Leave water in for a week or so... Bolt your 2x6's to blind.
Brace blind with wood where U going to drill our bolt holes on both sides. Oh,, Put a point on end of 2x6' it will help .. This is the only way u going to a blind say in middle of a pond..

Thank your sir that's excellent advice, especially angling the anchors. I know it's going to provide a better anchor but driving them 2X6's at an angle sounds like a PITA. I want to sink this blind real low; so I will prob go with 4 angled 2X6's on each corner and maybe a few vertical 12ft 2x4's with 1x6 stingers on the end. Does that sound adequate to you?
I'm will post some pics; building the frame in my yard for ease of installation. I plan to secure the frame 1st with some untreated 2X4's to provide a stable work platform then drive in the anchors.
