Here is a cheap crappie condo that I made today, I just dont know where to put it. I have a kayak and would be willin to paddle a ways to get to it but dont know how to place as far as depth and bottom contour. I will use a relatives bass boat to place it. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

With only that much concrete in it, it really probably won't matter, cause it won't be there the next time you look for it. Underwater currents in the lake will move it unless you have about 50-100# of weight. A structure like that is a lot different than a brushpile when it comes to moving around on the bottom.

And, even if it's there it so small that it will be almost impossible to see on your graph. I would add about three more like it together in one spot. (with more weight)

It has 60 pounds of sakrete in the bottom of it, but I guess I could add more weight. Your right about it being small. It was easy to make so ill probably make three or four more to put in with it. My home lake hardly has any good structure in it any more, so I know if i put a few of these together they would work. Would you say to put them in about 15 to 25 feet of water, the lake isnt very deep so any deeper than that would definately limit where I could paddle to. Thanks for all you guys tips.

I would drop it somewhere over enemy forces.
Looks like it could do some damage.

Thats why I dont want to put it at a dock. Someone would dive down and get skewered on those stakes. scared

I am assuming you are thinking about putting it in Stamford? Pm me with the area of the lake you plan to launch from & I just might have an idea.


A bad day on the lake is much better than a good day at work!
