When you sink the buoy in the fall remember that the water level is significantly lower than it will be in the spring (well, maybe not this year). I used to sink mine about 4’ below the surface to make sure it would be below the ice. One year I went to pull it out in the spring and could barely reach it with my fully extended boat hook elbow deep in the cold water!
