This is a good time to build a few new piles. There's a lot of new trees laying down along the shore that need a new home.

I caught a bunch of fish today on this one.

I saw a few today that looked like good candidates.

Hey Eric howd you do today?

Horace, I'll say this, better than last week (of course any week was better than last week).

Blue is still doing OK, but orange, along with pumpkin seed (or motor oil) and chartreuse seemed to be the ticket for any fish. I didn't try my "go to" Bobby Garland purple shad with blue flake today, so have no idea how it would've done.

I hear ya about last week ! That was awfull! Sarge & myself are going in the morning hope they are at home

May see y'all out there. Tell Sarge minnow dunkers (like my buddy Craig) will be fined a fee for poles blocking foot traffic. I start 7 graveyards tomorrow night, so my last chance for awhile.

My boys and I sank a few this week.

no Chairs?

Heckuva an idea

do you ever tie a coke bottle in the top to stand the trees up? we found the trees standing up held crappie better and the trees laying down held more bass for some reason on rayburn.

Go big or go home

Decorate by tie-wrapping clumps of bamboo vertically about 2-3 foot out from the center, all the way around, then stick a bamboo shoot into the end of each one. Makes them about 12-16 foot in diameter, depending on the length of the bamboo. Make a pvc pipe receptacle for your front seat receptacle, put the bottom piece of pipe (the one in my hand) on first, and insert it into the pvc pipe receptacle. Holds it for you as you build it, rotate it around as needed while building and decorating with bamboo. Using this receptacle/holder one man can easily build and sink these. 4-5 bricks on the bottom one when you are finished building it, then throw over the side. DONE! Only the bamboo leaves show up, look like small schools of fish. VERY hard to find. I promise you that unless you build these and know what their stealth signature looks like on DownScan or SideScan (sonar is useless to find PVC) anyone else would drive right by them and not give them a moment's notice. They look nothing like a brushpile, look like baitfish. Virtually impossible to grapel and drag away.

61 years old. Been sinking brushpiles for forty years. Never again. This is too easy! Out-produces any other I have ever sunk. Only cedar trees approach its effectiveness.
