    Default Boo buckets...whatcha think?


    Gotta have some where to lean em til I get em so stuffed they wont fall over lol....shop works as well as beside the scaffold bucks...should set some bucks up and put em in between em...didnt have the cross braces handy tho.

    These aint my first, but im my opinion, look better than the first ones I had.....got probably less than 50 cent in all three of em unless you count the lil bit of extra gas outa the way home from work to get the boo.

    Only made three...which worked out great. The cement was busted bags, so since dad was using the mortar mixer on a job today, I just filled a bucket up concrete, got a wheelbarrow, two buckets of sand, mixed it by hand, and one truck load on my truck (coulda got a little more I think), it worked out perfect for three buckets I think, which once I get them baled up to haul, will be enough to fit in the boat for one drop next time im out.

    Make SURE you drop them in front of that guys dock that had a problem with you fishing there!

    How much do they weigh? Might want to add a jug to the top so they stand up straight off the bottom. Those look like they need about 25' of water.

    Yeah they stand up with out a jug, the bamboo is bouyant, as the sections trap air. They correct themselves. Yep the one beside the trailer has one stalk up about 18-20'....itll prolly get 35 fow. The others will probably get around that as well, as theyre goin in the same place

    No need for a jug on it unless you want everyone to know it's there. That boo when done like that drops like a parachute in the water.
