Hi folks. I need some expert opinion, never having done this before.

I have a bunch of used 4 - 5 footlong 3" to 6" diameter PCV water pipes.

I was thinking of putting 4 or 5 inches of concrete in one end, and then drilling a hole at the other end of the pipe and tying on a large empty (but sealed) coke bottle or plastic milk jug.

If I drop these overboard, will the heavy concrete end go into the muck and will the coke bottle/milk jug keep the PVC pipe standing upright, so that it looks like a floded tree trunk?

If I plant the pipes this way, it is easy for me to carry them in the boat and put them out by myself.

Will this work??????? Will they stand up and if I plant 15 or so in a small area, will it attract crappies?

Appreciate your help/comments.
