I've dropped both bucket beds and brushpiles in KY Lake and caught fish within a couple of days off them. I've also had other fishermen fishing on them within a couple of days. That's just part of putting them in the lake.


I do have a question: those who pour the stake/buckets who don't leave the bucket on them, how do you treat the buckets to get them to release from the concrete? How long do you let them cure before you try to get the concrete/stakes out of the buckets? I want to do the ones I do in the future without the buckets. I see pics of them with just 8 or so inches of concrete around the stakes, no buckets. I used to have a source of all the drywall buckets I could haul off but no more.
