Day 1 & 2 of putting in work for more crappie limits.

yesterday after $60 and prolly 4 hours of cutting and welding metal to make my contraption to pound slab wood down in the mud I finally got it built... then today I went to hurricane and put a load of wood out... it was tuff work BC the wood I had was way too thick but 4 hours later I finally got it all out... I picked out 2 trees about 300 yards apart and I put them out in a staggard pattern all in between the 2 and at 2 diff spots made a sort of a stump field... hands and arms are soar and cut up but hopefully it will b all worth it wen I haul those slab crappie in from my slab honey holes!!

Hard work always pays off. Nice looking contraption you constructed.

Good job. I use a PVC pipe and two people can make short work quickly

Yea I've jus always had luck with crappie bein on wide pieces of wood thts by itself... seems like the big slabs really like something wide... I like fishing stumps and logs tho and really despise fishing brush... but the PVC would b easier and u won't get hung up on it so I might try some of tht also jus don't know wer I could get sum w/out payin a pretty penny for it... but any advice from u I will gladly take and put it to use... every time u post u have a long and very well explained story and I always enjoy reading them

Pvc does not draw fish as good as wood !!!! TIP---EASY IS Not ALWAYS Best! !!!!

Meant pipe driver. I have drove wood slats and PVC pipe with it making stake beds. Jigs come off easy on these. I anchor my boat on front and back then drive stakes all around it. One person load and other person drive the stakes.

arkansasbowhunter, I was following you! Mainly because I was sitting here thinking that was an awfully heavy driver he was holding & that a PVC driver should be easier to handle.

How much trouble do you have finding good lake bottom for driving stakes?
