Walk-in hunting to flooded lake bottom - where do you put your gear?

So it looks like this year one of my top duck hunting spots will be a big flooded lake bottom dotted with stands of cattails. The water is about crotch deep and there is no hard structure around and no where to put gear once you get in. Does the OB have any DIY solutions for maybe hanging a blind bag? I have been setting stuff in the sled we use to bring in the decoys but that usually is pushed way off in the reeds during the hunt. Looking for something less conspicuous that I could maybe stick into the mud?
Here's what I'm dealing with FWIW:

Mojo pole works good

What if you took a marsh seat and modified it to have a milk crate on top instead of the seat pad? Or use that concept to make something from scratch. Maybe a T-post with a platform welded to the top for a basket and hooks just under it to hang things from.
Edit: or PVC would be lighter and easier to work with

I would use the sled. If it's too far and you need some gear near you, a game vest, or fab something similar to a mojo pole to hang whatever it is you need onto it. Could probably do it out if pvc.

I don't know how much gear you have, but we hunt a similar setup occasionally and a dove vest works well to hold shells and a few other smaller things.

If you want to really step your game up, replace the sled and seat with a little boat:

We use those black wrought iron Shepard hooks they sell as hanging flower pot holders from lowes. Works great unless the bottom is slush. We also use them to hang hog lights over food pikes when night hunting hogs in the offseason.

Just get some PVC and make a T. Spray paint it and angle cut the bottom end and boom you have something to hang a bag from.
Eta: you could make this break down into several pieces for easy storage

A shell vest like in my avi is perfect for your situation. Holds plenty of shells and the pouch can hold necessities you may need or want to carry. Your key is going to be go light and leave nonessentials in the truck

I pack my shite via a Ron chapman pirogue, in the woods, I'd do the same where you're talking about hunting, too.
