New "boo buckets"

[AgriHawg]

After making the 'boo buckets', how long does the qwikcrete need to cure before they are sunk? Planning on making a batch of ~15' buckets to drop soon. Also, is ~15' about right for 25' of water?
thnx

I give'um 2 days but I make'um soupy. Make sure u drop a cedar at each spot u drop your boo. this attracks small fish which in turn attracks big fish. Just my opinion.

Two days will do it. If they are 15' tall be sure to fill the buckets with sacrete, to keep them from being top heavy and falling over.

I was hoping to make them early one morning and them drop them off late that night. Is that too soon? I've always had qwikcrete set up in a half a day when I've used it before with other projects. hmm...

thanks

btw. I'm looking forward to making alot of boo buckets. The house I just bought has a lot of bamboo on the property. I've only been there two weeks and i've already had an asian family ask me if they could harvest my bamboo shoots in the spring!

agrihawg...If you set them in later that day plan on something going wrong with the

tenncrappie...You don't think the lil fish are attracted to the boo? You add another type of wood at the site you drop your boo condos?

Thanks for the advice. Hopefully my learning curve won't be too steep. The past few days, I've read a lot of the structure posts that were put on here during the past year.

Cheers.

I just do whats worked for me before in the waters around here. I'm no pro just what works for this hillbilly from Tennessee. Hope I haven't offended anyone.
