D BEASON,
If it was me, I would put the condos in water that would be in the 18' to 20' depth range at normal pool. How tall are your condos?

sac-a-lait me,
I was gonna try and go this Saturday, but I doubt that I will because of the weather and wind. Maybe next Saturday, but when we get some longer daylight hours which won't be long, I'll be out there two to three times a week. Save me a few.

hey Clyde,
Do you know if the fish are ok to eat out of there, i mean i've eaten fish out of some pretty bad places but like i've said i've caught alot w/ alot of parasites

sac-a-lait me,
Yeah, the fish are cool to eat. I've been eating them for the past three years (Marine Creek). Are you actually seeing parasites or some kind of fungal growth? I haven't caught any fish out there with a blemish on them. Are you talking about EM or MC?

Oh woops i meant to put it on the MC post haha, but yes the majority were white ball like clusters on the belly fins. One also had a blood pocket on the meaty portion of the back slab. I think it's from hugging the bottom for so long. I know that no fish parasite has been known to make a human sick, so we'll see if they are still on in spring.

Hey, guy's just call the game warden for the county or lake that you are wanting to sink in and they will tell you right then if it is o.k.. Also ya'll need to refer to it as "creating fish habitat" they like to hear it put that way.GoodLuck CrappieMaster

CrappieMaster,

Been there. Done that. I wished I hadn't. Case Closed.

Clyde,
Mine are about 6' tall. When the lake is full (649.1 MSL) they are set in about 22' of water, which gives you about 16' of water to the tops. If the lake drops 10' there's still 6' of "swimming" water above them.
You have to set them deep enough so as not to create a swimming/skiing hazard.

D Beason
Did you and your dad ever do any good on the condos you put out?I never cought a crappie off one set I put out and only a couple craps off the other.The EM worden is a fellow TFFer he reads on here all the time.He wont tell me his handle. If your going to drop some thing in the lake get it deep enough were peaple diving off boats well not get hurt.

heres my 2 cents worth , a friend got a 500 $ ticket for brush piles in a lake ,because it contaminates drinkin water . that bl makes me spell funny

Mark,
I've only caught a few on the condos. I apparently picked a bad location. However, I've only fished them four or five times.
They should be biting off the breakwaters on the upper end. I haven't had time to check.

I haven't been to EM in years, like 15-20 yrs, since my buddy in high school and I would go out there and namely bass fish in the morning on his Skeeter. Of course, I don't go there hardly at all, though i'm right off 820/35W in Keller, just because it's namely private property and if ya don't have a ride(boat), well, then yer' screwed!
