Thread: Sinking christmas trees

I know you have to do some trimming on them to get crappie to really hold in them well . and I have a hit a few over the years that produced really well . our waters are pretty warm most of the year though and things deteriorate quickly in them . am not sure how long one lasts but I know people that still sink them .

Best luck I had was hardwood slabs or slats concreted into two hole cinder blocks. They draw down the lake I fish most often in winter so I would just dig them down into the gravel a little bit and they would stick up.

Cane buckets work well two but I had more trouble with them falling over in the lake than the slat style ones.

I made these too but they were a pain to handle in the boat and you couldn't get very many in it.

actually Sir Intimidator and Co. helped haul more than a couple down to the Marina and/ or Main boat Ramp and load them for their "last ride". over 10 years perhaps 80 persons assisted in 1 way or the other. Fritz (cj polecat) and many others were enormously helpful so many times... we were blessed to have a REALLY "good" bunch of "Friends"!

When I'm back home in Pittsburgh, I'm gonna give you a call Lowell. I wanna go fishing with you and check out your handy work! Sounds like there's hundreds on your lake!
