Stake beds

[Speck]

This is what I do when my boat is still iced in the shop and I have a nice Saturday afternoon. I make crappie structure for my pond. I still had some pallets that roofing shingles were on. Found a supply of old planks free for the taking. Now I just have to throw them in the truck and haul them to the pond.

I Think They Would Be A Little Problem Getting Into Water Unless You Float It First Then Set A Block On It To Sink It???? They Look Fine.......

My oldest son works for a company that can get a bunch of broken cinder blocks.

I've got 2 different plans of attack. 1: If the pond stays frozen solid enough, I drag them onto the ice where I want them and let em sink when it warms up. Or 2: place them beside the pond on the bank, wire the blocks to them. loop a rope through the pallet and drag them out with my boat. When they get where I want them, loosen one end of the rope and pull it back into the boat.

Speck, those look great!

Speck,

Be careful if you do the ice deal. You plus the cinder blocks might be to heavy. I like your second option better. It will take more time but its a lot safer. The ice hasn't gotten thick enough here to do that.

Great lookin stake beds!!

Thanks Ship. I was going to have the wife walk out there first to make sure the ice was thick enough.:D j/k.
