Thread: Nimrod lake

Who all would be interested in building a few pallet beds or brushpiles ? The lake is rising and should be full soon.

Nimrod, I would be very interested in helping build and put them out. I'm retired so have plenty of time and can work on this about anytime. I live in Conwqy so not too far away. Just let me know when you want to do it and I'll be there. Do I need to bring anything?

A strong back and a weak mind lol lol. Just kidding. I can get pallets to build stakebeds, nails, and stakes. Rocks to sink them are all over the banks. You can bring whatever you have access to. We need to get Slabbandit , Harold, Fancyseats and a few more involved. Those with boats big enough to haul brush are whatever would help. Start posting to see who is interested before we discuss a time. I have some stumpy submerged Islands on the dam end of the lake marked with GPS. Thinking about working down on that area.

Sounds good to me! I'll keep watching the board and chime in when things get a little more definite. My boat is a 1542 War Eagle with 25 Yamaha, not big enough to haul a lot. Anyone have a pontoon boat we could use? How much weight does it take to sink stake beds made from pallets? We had trouble sinking some of those in the pool last week. They were a little bigger than a 4 x 4 pallet though. Can we get all we need from the bank, or would it help for me to bring a trailer with blocks and/or rocks?

Nimrod,

Count me in. I would like to be involved. Weekends will work best for me.

Let me know what days you want to work.

Let me know when. I cam get some slabs from a saw mill near where I live. I can get

all the pallets we need also. I can also get some left overs from a shop that mskes

wood trim molding. It will be anything from 1" wide to 2" and up to 16' long.

Slabbandit is suppose to check with the Corps office before we start anything as a group.

are you going to do anything this weekend ? coming up there eather sun or mon .tell slabbandit i got him a whole bunch of big zip ties .looking foward to seeing you guys .are you catching any?

Not right now I was netting and just pulled them . Last time out Crappie fishing was Tuesday before Christmas , caught a limit. Think Slabbandit has been after sky carp with his boy. I might try the Crappie again before putting out anymore nets.

I just talked to the Corp about us building fish cover and they said it would be OK.

So when do we want to do it?

I can't be there on 1/25, 2/7, 2/14 or 2/21. But I can make it just about any other days. We can meet at my trailer and work there then use my pondtoon to put them in the warter. I have a air compresser and nail gun that I will bring. Let me know what you think. If you want to call me my number is 501-888-2570.
