I saw Barry Stokes showed how to make that. Looks good. I can get the unlimited amount of buckets from work. We threw away over 30 buckets a day. I just need to know where to get the pvc cheap. I have a lakehouse at Tawakoni now. I wanted to put out as many as I can.

Sounds like government Math to me ? Let's see 1/2" pvc 9 pieces 4' long= 36' @.21 cents a foot= $7.56 1" pvc 6' @.40 cent = $2.40 1 bucket $4.00 1 sack Ready Mix = $3.15 20' Black quest pipe @.10 =$2.00 Total if I didn't miss or steal anything = $19.11 With no labor? Merry Christmas Hope it helps

Merry Christmas Hope it helps You are assuming quite a bit there. You assume he stole or had to pay for all his supplies. I can get everything on your list for free, and not stolen, with the exception of the redy mix. So, your price scheme is off by almost $16.00. I'll assume he can do the same thing I can, for the most part. Merry Christmas to you, also.

Yes you can get irrigation tube for 8 bucks at Lowes 100 ft. Everything is super cheap beats chopping a tree and hauling it . Goal to lay about 25 of these and have different spots when it's windy inside coves and creeks.

After scouring craiglist and the local neighborhood boards for a while I found a plumber that gave me almost a truck load of various sizes. I made 2 like the one in your pic and then two like satellites if you will so they stand up no matter how they fall. LSS, I cant see any of them on HBird but only looked one time so far. I have a lot more and am doing same as you, putting them in places where it is out of wind and protected somewhat. Beats hauling and cinder blocking trees, If I had a pontoon maybe but I think I may go overboard with them sometimes!!

When you cruise over them turn the sensitivity super high on the dowscan . As soon as you sink them drop the orange marker next to it . Cruise over it with different settings and screens until you pick it Up then mark it .

My apologies , I forgot Santa and his 8 Raindeer Bucks might have been on the roof of his garage as he was building it? So it is possible? I knew it was a fishing blog?

I hope they work good for you, but several years back, a friend and I had free buckets , pvc, and tubing, (inner duct left over from some buried fiber cable jobs). We built and put out several. We then got some cinder blocks and poured cement in the cavities and stuck cane in them and put those out. Later we cut willows and mesquites and sunk them. The sunken trees attracted fish faster and were much more productive than the other two, with the cane coming in a close second and pvc last. I now go to the trouble of cutting and sinking trees when I can.
