Thread: Having Difficulties Identifiying Condos

Hey, my FIL and I put one in with green leaves still on it one day and within 16 hours pulled 5 pound and a qtr's off of it. Week later gave up a 2 lb 5 oz.
Hands down nothing attracts crappie faster than green bamboo!

Good Luck!

YOU ARE BUILDING MY CONFIDENCE ! I LIKE IT.
:D

an idea I had was to tie a milk jug that would float above the structure. I think it might show up better on the finder (?)

I never drop just one....usually it's two buckets together only a few feet apart. After I drop 'em I usually wpt both sides. Then theyre easier to find.

if your sensitivity is to high does it just not show em at all, or show em wronge? I just got my newer depth finder setup to were it reads awesome after some trail and error, just curiuos. have a great one, God bless.

I have an HB 565 and condo's look like clouds, and with the fish stacked in em showin up with the ID on it's bad for my nerves. All that excitement you know. First ones I found were in 15 fow and loaded with fish. My partner and I took first and big fish that day. Homey be likin condo's.

i spent some seat time with my depth finder/gps the other day and have the settings to where I marked a brush pile and had the fish ID emblims showing in the brush, and that pile produced well, was pretty cool. I usally dont like the fish ID setting but its kinda the only way I could get the screen/pic as clear as I wanted, but after that experience I like the fish ID. I went over other brush piles that didnt show any (or very few) and they didnt produce, not sure if it was a fluke or its actually working that way, but it seemed to work that way, I guess time will tell. but nothing replaces a little seat time and adjusting your depth finder, thats for sure. have a great one yall, God bless.
