1. How can i make it stand straight up, i have herd of the 2 liter bottle trick does this work?

2. Is placing them in a marina illegal? i live in tx an have checked with the lake but they didnt specify. Obviously dont block boat traffic but just curious

I’ve read about people tying a 20 oz soda bottle and makes me stand up. 2nd question don’t know.

I think im gonna zip tie a milk jug or a 20oz soda bottle maybe two.

How deep you going to sink them?

Starting 14 going to 27-32ish, buckets stand about 8-12ft tall

have my toon on a dock in a lake without much structure and going to put something under it. still debating what and best way, so always looking for whatever works for someone.

I hear that. I wouldnt waste time with pvc from what i have read, natural trees seems to attract and hold the most from what i have read aswell. Since we have freshwater crabs here in the brazos river im going to try and make them some homes inside the concrete. Maybe have a cup set on its side for them to hide in

I wouldn’t count pvc out. Lakes I go to there’s days they’re on pvc and not wood and days they’re not. Best to have various types of structure out. Branches vertical, branches horizontal, wood stake beds, plastic stake beds, etc.

Goes to show you cant judge the fish before fishing, i personally would prefer pvc due to how easy it is to work with but everything i seem to read say just get some sticks an sink em, got into reading about zooplankton and the alge that grows. I hear that most ways to "chum" for a fish is either dog food, range cubes, corn ect,ect. But what about a bottle of alge fertilizer to boost the entire food chain from the bottom? I gotta try it to see if it brings in the baitfish, seems fairly cheap aswell. Might poke some holes and sink it on a string to get it down around brushpiles/pvc condos.
