    Default More fish today and other stuff


    Rained us out most of the day. But we managed a to sack (basket) a few. Between the rains, I worked on my coffee can tree. These cans work fine. The cans are holding fish good now. We put them out last year when billbob and DonG were visiting. Brenda has her own fish garden now.

    I finished one coffee can tree today and mounted some pole holders atop my Rhino. My poles are rigged for floating jigs. I will leave the poles atop the Rhino unless we go trail riding. I like playing in the mud. Sucks cleaning up though.

    Life is good, especially when you have been blessed as Brenda and myself. C.com has been a blessing too. All my close pals have passed, but I have found comfort from the losses with many a good person here.

    Would you mind sharin' how you keep the coffee can from coming off the pvc? I like the concept and it would not take a large boat to get them out to
    where you wanted to drop them. Looks like I could carry a couple in my kayak to drop on location. Neat idea.

    Sheet rock screws in the cans holds the pvc in place. I buy returned and open box stuff (like screws, etc) at Lowe's. Cheap. I got a buddy who works for Lowes. He picks up stuff like cracked pvc for me. Kinda like "insider trading". ha

    Takes about a year for the fish to really start "hanging out".

    I use my Coleman Crawdad (11 footer) to put this stuff out.

    Our neighborhood saves cans for me.

    Say CP do you drill small holes in the top side of the cans to let air out?
