I am trying to understand how spuds work. I think they bore into the lake bottom to stabilize the craft. Does that not disturb the lake bed and cause some silt? How deep do they go?

I know the barges (and the Dive) on the lake use them. Not looking for new laws here just trying to understand how disturbing the lake bed is ok with DES.

Could I use spuds to anchor a boat or jetski for a few hours?

Sorry if this is a stupid question. Just seeking knowledge!
