    Default Saw this on the Arky board.

    For you guys who like to build your own crappie cover. This looked like a great idea to me.

    Looks like a great idea to me. I made some boo beds this fall and just put the boo and crete in the bucket together. I was able to haul all 3 to the lake, but couldn't get them to sink. Had a 60 lb bag in each bucket. Next time i wont use as much boo.

    FYI. Dry wood takes a lot to sink! I use primarily cedar, pin oak, hedge and cypress trees. The more limbs, the better the cover. Of course it helps that we have a big habitat barge that can handle trees up to 20 feet in size. The key is to cut the trees and drop them ASAP. A single concrete block can sink a 15 foot cedar when it is fresh. A 10 foot section of a dry cypress tree takes a concrete barricade to go down!

    they did sink but it was very slowly and ive been back since and can't find them. Im sure the first good rain/current washed them on down the lake. Oh well, theres good habitat somewhere down there.
