SecondCurve- I have tossed around a lot of ideas on how to remove the rocks and some form of buoyancy system seems to be the choice that is cheapest. To move a 500 pound rock (average largest rock we have) you only need 8 cubic feet of air buoyancy, so I was thinking some sort of PVC raft style system may work and then lift the rocks individually into deeper water.

I would love to avoid getting large equipment involved due to the cost if nothing else, albeit it would be the fastest and most effective way to deal with the problem. I am still kicking around solutions.
