Hey there Sixfin,Is that rough cut oak that those are built out of? What are the dimensions, height of the stakes, ect.
I think that I saw pics of your barge. I have access to buying one cheap and I am serious about building the same set-up.
Exactly what are you building them with, galvanized staples, screws or what?
How much weight does it take to sink one that size?

ifish,
We looked at using SS staples but they were very expensive. We are using galvanized right now and we are going to see how they hold up.
Crappietexan,
We have went back after a week and caught fish out of them. They seem to produce better the first year that we put them out. You can still catch fish after a year but that first year produces so much better. I guess they like having something new around.
slabbandit,
The frame is made out of rough cut sawmill oak and the uprights are poplar. The bed is 4'x8' and the stakes are 40" tall. We put about 175 lbs on them when we sink them. We've had them float before and thats no fun.

ifish,
That fish in the picture weighed in at 2.74 lbs. I've caught two that big but I can't seem to catch a 3#er. Any suggestions?

did you set a bed in cane creek last fall ????
hello.....i saw a large open pontoon come across from the benton county side with a large bed on it last fall.....was that you fellas.???? it looked like you have a very good operation on dumping those large beds....Originally Posted by sixfin
These beds are so good that fish will come out of the water to get in 'em!

Hey sixfin,
What are the size of your boards? You said the poplar upright were 40" tall and the oak frame was 4'x8'; the poplar boards look to be 1.5" thick x 4" wide and the oak boards look to be 1" thick x 6" wide.
Those are some awesome looking beds?? Great work!!
Thanks,

Nice looking bed and it sounds like you have a good set up for sinking them. That thing would sink my boat!

The poplar uprights are 40" tall and 1 1/2" wide. The frame boards are true 1x 4's. We place the uprights every 16" apart. I will start a new post and show pictures of the pontoon and how the beds set on there.
