GCD- I hear you, but I noticed that in the video that Russ Bailey and guide were only using 2 3 hole bricks to weigh down the porcupine. I realize that the legs will settle into the mud on bottom. The dammed reservoir that will receive the structure has wind generated current. The structure will be sunk in approx 20 fow. I may devise a heavier concrete weight with a pvc T partially sunk in the concrete. I can then glue the T to the bottom of a short piece of pipe hanging from the "trunk" and put a screw into the t for added security.
Your suggestion is appreciated and will be acted upon. Thank you.

Those things work, I put out 3 like yours and a month later I am catching a lot of crappie in them. I didn't drill holes in mine and they are not where I put them.
It ain't nuttin but luck.

How much weight did you use RT?
How far did they travel?
I did drill holes in mine, but still wonered if they were going to travel when they turned the turbines on at the dam. Checked on them last Friday and they were still in the same spot I dropped them on the GPS.
Once they settle in and bury up in the mud some, you won't be able to pull them out with a crane!

those will work great. I made some almost just like those out of cane but only about 8 feet tall. I dropped them in 18 FOW. Just messing around a few days later I went back to them just to look at them on the FF. I saw some fish arches coming out of them...Well I dropped a jig down and caught like a dozen fish off it and several of them were 2 pounders. I was stoked!!! About 6 months later a big storm came and I guess the waves and wind and current MOVED them. Still can't find them. I had them in 80 pound bases, no holes drilled anywhere.
Even without the limbs and the leaves, which rot away quickly, boo works fast!!!

GCD, nice jigs you made for the bases too!!! Those should last a long time? How much did it cost you to make those? Is that 1" plywood?
