Darryl Morris has made some concrete wire bamboo condos over 30ft in diameter...That is using 20ft long bamboo stalks/shafts...The ones I made I would guess are between 15-20ft in diameter...I didn't only used about 16-18ft long bamboo...I plan using longer ones on the next habitat drop..

I may try the wire and block next time i drop structure, that last one i did was massive and hard to get down for sure.

The concrete wire condo is simple to make..It's also not that expensive to make..If you can come up with free concrete blocks?...I purchase the concrete wire at lowes..It is about $6 dollars per sheet....

I work construction, so materials usually aint hard for me to come up with. I usually can come up with materials to sink brush piles and build fish condo's with. My structures are usually dual purpose for tournament bass fishing and fall crappie fishing. This was the largest structure I have tried to sink so far.

Might be the largest anyone has tried to sink. Looked awesome though and I bet it produces a bunch of dinners too.

Me and my fishing Partner made this with multiple reasons in mind. it is very large, thats a electrical wire spool all the bamboo is attatched to. The structure alone is over twenty feet long and about 8 feet tall with lots of nooks and crannys woven into the canes. the whole spool is made of wood, the drum of the spool is hollow and we are stuffing it full of dog food before we sink it. That should get the bait fish and forage fish around it fast. Once the bait fish are there, all we should have to do is, fish and hope for a reason to break out the fillet knives .

Drill 2 holes (one to let water in and the other to let the air out) in every joint of every stick of the boo, boo is very bouyant!

... then stick a gps homing device on that thing before you sink it, that thing is going to travel!

Why for do you think it will travel, it has about 600 pounds of rock and blocks on it. I figured once that spool is waterlogged, it would take a barge to move it. I may be wrong, I have been before. I am going to sink another 30 pounds of dog food in a tater sack to keep the bait there for a good while.:D

It would have to roll up hill if its in Conway, only a couple holes deep enuff to cover that structure. :rolleyes:

soswine, you are so correct about that. but there are several spots deep enuff to sink it, just not select prime spots.
