Easy Fix...... We also plant 300+ decoys in open marsh lakes and the waves can get pretty nasty. We simply tie a lead strip weight (standard decoy weight) to each decoy with a 4-6 ft string, then bend the bottom 3rd of the weight into a "J" figure. We then get a 1/2 inch PVC pipe (4-5 foot long) and put the bent portion of the "J" into the pipe and we then push the PVC pipe about a foot into the mud.... When you pull the PVC pipe out of the mud the lead weight stays anchored under the mud because of the "J" design. I guarantee this thing will not come out the mud unless you pull hard on the string. Make sure to make your strings long enough for fluctuations in water depth, because if the water rises high enough. you will return to your decoy spread with only the butts of the decoys sticking out of the water!!!
Think I might go with this idea. Thanks for the feedback
