I went down to the river to a spot where people go to feed the ducks and geese, and gathered up some feathers. Then I used a piece of styrofaom to stick the feathers into so they would be spread out,then tied a piece of fishing line to it, and attached the other end of the fishing line to one half of the steady sticks I took apart.

Haven't got a chance to use it yet, but I can't see why it won't work.
