I actually have some vinyl retaining wall that I'm going to make some out of.
I also have a lot of 5 gallon buckets, so I got some concrete and bought a 100' roll of 1/2" tubing for $11.50 to make some of the ones that way. Plan to beef up some of the places that I've found and make a few new spots this winter thumb
I don't get your way, but have no problem showing you mine.

Joe Pool is not that far away. I have a couple of spots I can show you to drop some of them. roflmao

Seriously, which lake would you prefer to fish the most? Which one has less traffic for the period of the week you can fish?

mostly weekender and evenings, haven't crappie fished Hachie alot but have caught several crappie on bass baits at Clark. Hachie obviously bigger with deeper water may be the place.

I would suggest Ahachiewax. It has some huge Crappie in it around the island brushpile and the stump field.I would place some along the Dam face at various depths

the dam has a few brushpiles along it
maybe enhance a few of them ?
they seem to attract a lot of black crappie
the stump field and island brush pile are already pretty good areas for white crappie
don't know anything about Clark but I bet its the one I been eyeballing on Google maps roflmao

Clark is that little blue blip north of Bardwell just across HWY 287.The Minnow would feel right at home.Honey Hole All Outdoors did a show on Clark a while back.That guy Ketched a Huge Crappie on a top water bait!
