    Default Crappie Donut Fish Attractors


    Building some shallow water "Crappie Donuts". Can't wait to get them in place and see how my design works.

    How are you weighting them down?

    Neat idea. You must be getting a good price on those elbows!

    They will weighed down by a two bricks on the bottom of the donut, one on each side.

    It doesn't look like the base is big enough to keep it upright with only a couple of bricks. Maybe add some sand to each pvc pipe about 1/4 the way full and cap each one. That may be enough to keep it in-place. If it is too light it may get moved around with the wave action. EB

    Thanks for the advice. Where these will be positioned there is no wave action to move them.

    Might be a little late if they're glued, but why not just fill the elbows with sand or quikrete?

    Just drill a good size hole in 1 or 2 elbows then fill it up with real runny quikrete
    let over night & ready to go.
