From this.....


To this.....

Does your wife know your in a tree?Lots of work but yrs of enjoyment.

DW, it will pay off in the end....... Cant wait.

WTG, Keith...

man those look nice, I've never tried building anything like that, only put out brush piles, do those show up pretty good on a graph and hold fish as good as brush

WOW, bad guys gonna have a hard time finding your a/c unit to steal.

Yeah, looks like your paranoid vampires are going to steal your outside unit...

Those look Great, will hold Crappie for years to come!

Wow ... you the man Keith.

What type of buckets are you using? I made 2 PVC trees today but you put me to shame! Nice work!

TakeTheBait.... the buckets are landscaping buckets, I order them from a company here in Frost..... $0.40 each.... must order 100 at a time....

channelcat777..... Here is a screenshots that you can count the sticks..... the slower you go over the structure the more detail the image shows.

What kind of wood is that?

Looks like 10ft 2x2 cut in half???

That is a lot of work!!

They look great!

Well done Keith, not only great places to fish. But you are benefiting the fish population where you fish. Looks like your gonna be buying grease by the gallon!

WOW, That is to cool.

TakeTheBait.....
Sticks are 8 ft long.... I cut in half.....

Fish n Fool....
Wood is Hickory, Ash, Maple and Pine.......
All hard wood except Pine.... should last for years......

Those look great! Should provide good structure for years to come. How about showing us what 200 crappie condos look like from the air after they have been sunk

MAK747..... You cant see em then..... they will be in the water.....

I slipped out and followed Keith last year when he sank about that many.
Here's what they looked like from not too high...


Here's a flat shot so you can get 2 or 3 points of reference...




WTG Keith! Excellent work!

WTG! I have lots of PVC to do the same, guess it will be my therpy off the water.....

I recognize that spot. Have stared at it many times.

pepop.... I wondered who was following me that day..... Now you have let the cat out of the bag so to speak....
O well happy fishing.......

Awesome.

Where do you get the sticks & how much do they cost each?

From a company in Waxahachie......
$50.00 per/bundle (photo of the bundle is at the first of this post, sticks are 8 ft long, I cut them in half)........

It sit`s right on the south bound side of I-35. Buffalo mills or sump n or other. I plan on getting some myself .$50 bucks a bundle not too bad.

Keith,

How many 8' sticks are in a $50 bundle? How many of the buckets do you drop in one area? Thanks.

How do find out if it's legal to put these in a public lake?

I would like to build some and make me a few piles on my home lake.

Glen54: About 800 - 1,000 8 ft sticks

Msmith: Talk to the owner.... or Game Warden.....

Thanks Keith.
