I'm with you on that one. I tried the pallets a long time ago and found out you need a lot of weight and man power. Driving the stakes in, is much easier.;)

Well they look like a science project gone wrong but I would bet they will hold fish. Good luck with them.

Your HC cards don't write as fast and that's the issue if you want to catch something fast. Also I've had lots of problems with them reading in my card reader on my XP desktop but no problem on the...

There's no doubt that the crappie will like your spread. As far as falling over I haven't had any problem with my turning over. If you have the weight it will hold them just fine.
Good Luck

That is one beautiful picture. I'm so jealous.
Pick a calm day to put them in and I'm sure the crappie will be thankful.

By the way I sent this link to my cousin who is the FFA teacher in Rolla...

The first thing I look for is the creek channel. Then I try to follow it and find a bend. Then I'll troll around that bend and find where it comes up fast to a depth that is shallow enough for me to...

Your right on ShilohRed. If the marking of something on the SI and really going to it would be a better benefit if it really works.
The stakes have been raised.
LOL

I've used both and like slabbandit said the dry ones stay in the driver better. I haven't noticed any difference in what the fish think. I try to use oak and cherry. If they are dry I can have a lot...

My neighbor has them in his lake and he won't tell me where he put them.:(
He says they work very well.
Have fun and good luck

Opie1,
I'm sure your not the only one and glad to hear your helping the fishery there.

Coyote,
It really sounds like the fishery there is proactive and a really great idea. Wouldn't it be...

I'm glad to hear the corp is willing to help. I guess if the government money is being spent then they can't say they didn't approve.

Look forward to seeing the pics of them going in.
Good Luck

I must say that after using my SI for two trips and ready to send it back and get a refund, HB said I had a trolling motor issue. After I installed their kit I have a perfect picture. I really only...

I don't think using the weeds for a day will do much for you. It's a shame that the State won't allow you to improve the habitat for the future of your fisheries. Any structure needs to be in long...

[QUOTE=AgriHawg;683515]The Centerpoint FFA will be partnering with the Corp of Engineers to build approximately 160 bamboo crappie condos. These condos will be placed in Lake Degray and Lake...

Y'all have too much time to think. Build it, mark it, call it something, and fish it. Do as I do- don't think so much:D It just hurts
This is too funny
LOL

Congress didn't allocate any funds for the CRAPPIE STIMULUS so we are happy to help Uncle Sam and maybe ourselves as well.

I am one that appreciates your warning because it probably needs to be...

I think most of this session has been covered on my thoughts so I won't pipe in. Just maybe a AMEN will do.
God Bless the freedom of speech!:D

I wish I could find some of that stuff around here.
LOL

Quote:And they also sent me a thing that you could use as a boat anchor to go between the foot pedal and the plug on the trolling motor. It says in the directions to screw it to the floor....NOT... I...

Thanks for the input. About those trees with the cut 5 gallon buckets, how have they paid off? I have seen those on this site and have cut the buckets but haven't used all the PVC yet so I am waiting...

I don't think it's an addiction until they come up with a rehab for it. As far as I have found their isn't a institution for us so it must be ok. Now if you start rolling the leaves then we need to...

I bought a 2 3/8 hole saw at lowes. All the cross bars are 2" pvc and the main trunk is 4". It was all old pipe so besides my labor it cost 1.50 per bucket for concrete. I added some limestone to the...

These are a little different than some of the others I built. In this picture I hadn't added the last of the limbs. After seeing a post from a depth finder in the structure forum I added more limbs. ...

I use cull oak from the sawmill and I'll cut to length the depth that want to put them in. I like to have the tops around 3 feet below the surface at winter pool. I group my stakes in length in the...

It takes real determination to get out on a day like yesterday. Glad you had a good day and great fish. My fix yesterday was walking to the pond and catching a few bass and 1 crappie and even then...

I don't disagree with your statement at all. If I spent the time with my HB SI trying to find stuff to fish the sun would be setting and maybe I would have fished ten percent of what I have in the...

Your right Cane Pole most folks had rather ride around and find the work that someone else has done than do any work themselves.:eek:

If you want a good GPS don't buy the HB models. Garmin has the finest GPS systems and the response is super fast. The SI to me is a waste of time unless your looking for spots made by someone else....

What a great idea. Future Farmers farming for Crappie! I'm almost positive that the crappie will grow better than our hay crop the last two years.
Make lots of pictures for the rest of the FFA clubs...

Cedar lasts a long time and if they are posts without limbs they will have fish hanging out on them quickly. If I were using them in our lakes I would take my skill saw and cut points on them and...
