    Default Here's what I've been building


    I've put about 120 of these in Kentucky Lake this year, 10-15 to a spot. These 20 are ready to head to the lake soon.

    Hi,


    The ones we build are pretty close to that...We use10in x 10in wood frame.....Just put the concrete in it and when it has set...Just unscrew and it falls right off....We use 3/4in x 4ft long oak slabs...We usually use anywhere from 9 to 10 pieces of oak slabs per a condo...We put 10 to 12 per a spot...

    Are you placing them shallow to deep in line, or in line at the same depth? Circles, or random patterns?

    Hi Lowellhturner,

    I think this question was for pab...But, anyways I will tell you how we drop ours...We throw out a marker bouy....Drop one condo by the marker and drop the other 9 in a circle around the one in the middle...We try to space them out pretty well...So, it covers a lot of area..

    Here is what we have been building....You can see the wood frames we use to build them in....The wood frames work out pretty well..We can use them over and over..
    I like the condos that pab builds...I just like the wood frames better...I think we can get better angles with the wood frames....That is just my own opinion...

    I've been putting them in spots I need stuff, mainly flats, most of the drops and creek bends where i fish already have stuff. I put them at different depths in different areas, trying to have places to fish at different depths that are out of each particular wind direction. I throw a buoy out each side of the boat(8-10ft apart) and try to keep em close to each other without throwing one on top of the other. I drive back between the buoys and mark em with the garmin. I have access to a just about unlimited supply of those shrub pots for free so that is what I use, quick and easy. Like them better than regular buckets because I get better angles and they are wider so the center of gravity is lower. Normally but 40lbs concrete in this size bucket with 5 stakes. I can put 10 of these in the back of the truck and transfer to boat when I get to the ramp. Take a load each time I fish, may not be the best way but it works for me.
