    Default My first condo...bamboo & pvc

    This is my first crappie condo. I've read a lot of post on bamboo & pvc and decided to mix the two. The pvc idea is from Mr. Paty's dvd. He actually attached his pipes together with material and screws so they wouldn't turn. I decided to use bamboo on the outside edge and place the pipe between the bamboo to prevent turning. I am excited about getting this thing sunk. I'm placing it in 20 feet of water about 100 feet from a boat house that I know holds crappie. Should this hold crappie year round?

    Below are pics to show you what I have done. I got a 5 gal. bucket, (6)10' pieces of 3" pvc, 3/8" rebar, bamboo and a 80lb bag on concrete. Placed the bamboo along the outside of the bucket and the 3/8" rebar placed in the middle and filled with concrete. Drilled a 1/2" hole in the middle of the pvc and slid down between the bamboo. I cut some 2" pvc for spacers between the pipe to make it taller. When complete I will bend the rebar to hold everything down. In the pic there are only 5 pieces of pipe but I will add another. Hope it will hold a few slabs.
