    Default Structure ??? at dock site


    I have a new (longer) dock that is now over deeper water (up to 30+ ft at full pool) that I am wanting to add structure to. We use to put out christmas trees, but now that I have found out about PVC I have been thinking about a "hanging" structure. What do ya'll think about a 4" tube 5 feet long with 1" "limbs" in a tree shape hanging under the dock about 10 feet below the dock? Anyone else ever do this? Any other suggestions?

    Sounds good except I have a question. Hanging condos from bluffs or other stationary things sounds great. But if the dock is floating the condo in motion each time wind or waves move would seem to scare fish out. What about capping some of the pipe and put a weight and cable to hold it so far off the bottom ?

    In that depth of water I would make a couple of the standing bamboo buckets. Make them at least 15 feet tall. Jerry Blake has an awesome article on building these on this forum.
