Does anyone have any tips on relocating rocks in shallow areas of the lake.
As the lake level drops more of these rocks are hindering boat access to our dock. I would like to move some of these 10 or 15 feet away so that there is safe access.

Ideas I have been thinking about:
building a rock sled out of either wood or repurposed conveyour belts and attaching it to a come along or even pull some with the boat.

Has anyone tried either of these?
Has anyone used a bottle hydraulic jack to lift rocks up and then roll them on pvc pipes

I know people have moved lake rocks forever, I am just trying to learn from other's experiences

thanks so much
