Thread: Structure Laying and Falling Over??

Tie a couple of sealed up gallon milk jugs filled with air to the top 1/3rd of the tree & make sure the bottom has plenty of weight to hold it in place. Big bites, full baskets, and God's blessings to ya!

Not sure that this would work on setting a structure on a steep slope, but here is how I TRY to keep Bass Fisherman from pulling my structures over. We start off with a 4 post set up, then build with Zip Ties as we go. This was our first attempt at building a Boo Pile, and have changed things a little as we have gone along. The main change is we are puttung less Bamboo on the structure. Now, this is all we are putting in the water, EXCEPT we are leaving the branches on the 4 post cemented in bucket, AND the 4 support pieces.

We also don't let our structure down on a rope. We just throw them over the edge. They go down just like a umbrella.






Due to the width of the base with the support pieces sticking out. We take a 2"x6"x8' board with us. We build the structure on the end of the board, then I grab the oppisite end of the board, side it over the edge of the boat, and let structure side off the end. Again, the biggest change we have found since we started sinking Boo is we are using less Boo. Crappie don't require thick cover to stage around, we have found groups of crappie staging around 2-3 twigs sticking up in the water, using our down scan. But these PICS show the technique that we use. Our Boo Piles are just not this thick anymore. Now with less structure you can work a jig into any part of the structure and get it out.
