Good luck Sunday Jimmy. Hope you get your limit or atleast have a good trip.
Looks like it will be tuesday before I get to go again. I am taking 3 more condos next time I get a 45 minutes. Hope to Sunday after work during the Superbowl. Falcons ain't in the game so it is just a game to me. I'll catch the 2nd half.
Yes I used bamboo and 60lbs of Qcrete. I think it is perfect weight. Maybe a little less would work but 60 makes the thing sink pretty fast and stands it up straight. It would also take a strong current to move it. Make it as wide as possible it will fold up in the boat. I try to get the greenest shoots I can find. They stay green under there a long time it seems. I catch a few with leaves on the hook too. Here is the first one I tried.
Like me you will get the hang of how you want them. I made a few for shallow water out of the bushy tops. I made one out of 20' shoots but I do most of them about 12'-15'. Great size for my lake. We can build all of these we want but we still need to fish the tops.
Good luck. If you weren't so far I would come help. I need to get busy up the street and get me some built for West Point Lake.I only have 2 weeks to git-r-done. I want to do well in the crappieUSA tourney in march.
