Can always drop some, give them some time and check to see how the fish are responding to them. Can always add to them. It is hard to take them back up.
I want to drop some 2x2 stakes/bucket attractors in a 3 acre pond. How many buckets would you suggest in each spot ? Will be in around 25 fow.

The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass alongsilverside, hdhntr LIKED above post
going from shallow to deep particularly down the insides and depressions if possible is generally successful. using hardwood limbs securely fastened is an option and will last much longer than most pine 2x 4s. properly placed consider this as far more likely to hold some fish iover a much wider range of seasons and/ or the weather and/ or temperature. a local tree service/ mulched can be a very useful source for honey locust, ash, hickory and Osage orange branches.

Silverside, there is a club in Tenn that has built a crappie paradise from 16 foot bamboo. This structure starts in 25 FOW at one end and 45 fow at the other end. Its 40 foot wide and over a hundred feet long. Lots of folks use it to fish but it is full of fish most days. My point is that too small is worse than too many. We are working on a bed and are starting with 50 buckets.

If at all possible think in terms of a B- 52 " Arc Light " carpet bombing strike, more is always better ! ( unless you happen to be underneath it )

keep a look out for someone taking down trees and especially any hardwoods and offer to cart off the end branches and limbs which most just grind up and take a lot of time to cut up, usually to burn. put them out and down and as much as you can to create that crappie paradise we all yearn for.

In the past I have dropped cedar in a couple places where I have caught fish. Nothing. Last winter someone dropped a couple big piles of christmas trees. Nothing. These crappie seem to be saying " we like it here in the weeds and are not coming out"
