    Default Built new oak buckets yesterday.....


    I think I made around 35 buckets using around 40# of concrete in each bucket. They are headed to "the spot" on Kentucky Lake in the near future. I took some closeups in case someone else might want to try the same at their local lake. The majority of them have 3" to 5" dia. oak trunks in them. Warning...they are VERY HEAVY!

    Have always wanted to fish Kentucky Lake....looks like you will be adding a lot of snags but that will be where the fish are!

    gently set the hook just before the peck

    Looks like they will do the job, and another use for a five gallon bucket! We get all of our nuts and bolts in them at work so I have a steady supply of them if some one near me needs some just tell me

    I guess that some confused states might consider it litter, but on Kentucky Lake they welcome more spawning habitat for the crappie. More habitat = more crappie = more happy fishermen = boost to the local economy. Luckily they understand the concept where I fish, but some other areas are missing the boat.
