Does everyone realize, you do not have to "mark" a spot to find them? All you need is a handheld gps turned on in a bag, pocket, or other hidden spot. After the trip is over, everyone has gone home, retrace the "track" feature. It's easy to see where the boat stopped or turned in tight circles.
The only way to overcome this is to not stop, but dump the coops "on the fly".
It all comes down to the honesty of the Captain and the owner of the deploying boat. Not questioning the honesty of anyone, I personally am not going to spend $400 + to build a fishing spot that may or may not be "not so private"
As for "only one or two have been found", how do you know that? It may well be that someone is "cherry picking" you coops. Impossible to know.
