Thread: Memories of Tuckertown Boo Drops 13 yrs ago... How many are still with us?

That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing the memories

I remember that well. I wasn't at the Jordan project and was out of town when brush was dropped in Tuckertown but we got all built in 1 day and most dropped in a day. Great times!

Thanks for sharing this.

I’m curious to know the fishing results on these over the following 5-10 years. Did it yield great results? What percentage of drops were fruitless and why? I dropped quite a bit of bamboo in Norman in the Hagers Creek area, but the results were sparse at best. Then again, crappie fishing for me at least has been on a steady decline on Norman for the last 15 years or so. Most of my fishing has been between markers 10-13 and associated creeks.

Was not in on the tuckertown drop, but was at high rock when those were made, hauled a big load on bamboo all the way from Waxhaw to High Rock. Saw some pictures of that outing not too long ago but can't remember how I found it. Do any of you remember the outings promoted by a guy, Mark Gromlivtz (sp) Thats what started me in crappie fishing. ncnat, painterfish, pop pop, crap king, were some of the names I remember. Never did get the cordinates of the drops!!

Good stuff

I didn't fish all of the spots were bamboo was dropped, some coordinates listed weren't quite where brush was but generally speaking I did well on those. We dropped 4 buckets of bamboo per spot, basically the idea was drop a bucket off each corner of the boat, and I think that made a big difference.

I remember those gatherings! I have wondered where some of those guys you mentioned and some others are now. PM me your email address, I'm pretty sure I still have the coordinates.
