I always use more up rights than he did. Leave minumum spacing of 8'' between uprights. I sink with rock as they are free and plentiful here. I usually gather up buckets , rock , stakes , pallets , and nails usually totally free. Helps to share your extra catches.

Whatever you use it sure works......the ones holding fish were loaded up!!

And, I used to feel guilty about sinking a beer can or two.

As you should.

First, know that I am not being a wise guy. And, when I am on the lake, my wife and I are the first to pick up floating trash and make disparaging remarks about litterers. On the other hand, I have scuba dived in freshwater lakes and seen the muck on the bottom up close. I have always wondered about the ethics of tying tires and autos together and dumping them off the coast. And, then there is ...the beer can. A small aluminum can weighing mere ounces that will over time provide safe haven to crawfish and whatever finds it inviting. Until it is covered with mud. If I caught more fish I wouldn't have time to ponder stuff like this. Alas, my wife did the catching today, and I am drinking a beer in my recliner.
