I am new to this site so first, hello to everyone from Texas. I fish on Lake Livingston which is known for it hugh catfish population. The state has actually doubled to daily limit on the lake because there are so many catfish. Enough of catfish, here are my thoughts on some structures I am getting ready to build for crappie. I am going to use some 35 or 40 gallon plastic barrels. I'll stand them upright, cut some holes in them, stick a piece of 2" PVC about 8' long down to the bottom and concrete it in so I end up with a barrel with a piece of pipe sticking out ot the top of it. Then I am going to cut some branches about 4' to 8' long and zip tie them to the PVC pipe and sink them at different depths to see what works. If anyone has any suggestions or experience on Lake Livingston, I'd love to hear from you. Once I get several built, I'll post some pictures.
Thanks,
Robbie
