    Default bushes set out

    Just finished setting out 12 different crappie attracter's, took me a whole week to make and decide where I was going to put them all. I tied a pill bottle to every one so that when winter pool comes I'll be able to find most of them Made two of CP's coffee things but I'm lazy, bushes are the easy one's to make and sink. This ole guy is pooped , but it'll pay back big time this winter....... FYI I use 5 gallon bucket with the branches threaded though the handle and drill holes through the bucket with a concrete block to hold them off the bottom. Just my way of doing it,,,,

    My Pontoon looked like a floating duck Blind. It always pays to salt the lake with cover and structure . Too Hot to fish hard, building some thing it never too hot. I tried the stake thing a few years ago bottom too hard and palets too heavy
