[QUOTE="KDM, post: 63396, member: 314"] A buddy of mine made a roll up mat sort of thing out of chain link fence and threaded white plastic strips through it. He just unrolls that and lowers that to the bottom with his decoy cord and it stays put. His only grip is when he slams a fish into the fence and it gets hooked, but he's only had that happen a couple times. When he's done fishing he just hooks the fence with one of those weighted treble hooks and hauls it up. He uses his gaff to grab an end, rolls it up, and he's off. He mentioned that it takes LOTS and LOTS of egg shells to cover a muddy bottom and like was mentioned, one thrashing snot rocket and all the egg shells disappear under the mud. With this, if it gets covered in mud, all he has to do is lift it off the bottom and set it back down and he's back to fishing. I think he has two of them that are 4 feet square and they are flexible enough so he can get them in and out with "relative" ease. [/QUOTE]
