Build them and they will come!

This is about 40 iv put out in 3 years and yes they really work.iv caught Crappie off some in 2 days after putting them in. there is 1/2 th block of cement in the bottom to make them sink.and zip ties on the pipe inside so the pipe cant come back out.

I like that design.
I ran in to some poly line recently and just may borrow that idea

Do those show up on your sonar pretty good hawghoover? Also do you put several in one area or one per location?

i only put them in boat slips.they dont show up too good on sonar.prob would if you put like 10 in a pile.

Rebar strips in the bucket. Others will be a little baffled at the tiny strong returns on the bottom but you will know what they are!
I drop buoy and drop 4 buckets around it then put transducer next to bucket and waypoint.

Do you build them different if the entire (several hundred acre) lake is no deeper than 6 feet?

Thanks Hawghoover.

Lol! That's a great tip Finaddict

Nicely done!

here is one i think will be a killer.small minnows can swim in and through it.dont know if i need pvc pipe through it or not?

The milk crates dont seem good to me, too many edges to hang on and pull whole structure up when trying to clear snag.

Yeah those crates are probably not a good idea. You will definitely stay hung in those.

we will see how this works

I wish my old marina would let us sink stuff like that during the day. We have always had to do it on the down low and it makes it a lot tougher.

yeh we still have to keep a low profile...bringing in our own gas is a no no too.

I wouldn't even have made it to the slip with that stuff.
