We never got around to dropping our big drain tiles, but we may do that yet this fall, especially now that most people have stopped fishing at the lake in question. - Roberta
That would work. You would need a couple, maybe 1" holes at the bottom on the opposite side of the brick so air wouldn't get trapped in it. If the water isn't too deep, you could "noodle" for them. If you do, you are braver than me. I watched a film once of men and women doing that. The only comment I had was "they're crazy" LOL.
