Had a good time today Craig. You were a great host and did a heck of a job leading the group. Not to mention all the work you had finished before everyone arrived. All the pallets assembled, brush cut and arranging everything, you sure deserve a big attaboy Craig. The rest of the guys were great too, sure was nice meeting everybody. Craig was right, us Okies might not be the prettiest bunch there ever was, but you'd be hard pressed to find a harder working bunch. To do this in Mid-July, with 104 to 108 degree days, we must really be addicted to crappie fishin. Hopefully we'll see each other on the water in the future and swap stories. I know we really improved the crappie habitat in Talala creek and all the guys had a great time meeting other crappie fishermen. Special thanks to Slab and his daughter for those really nice t-shirts y'all sent us, everybody really liked them and appreciated your support.

Ditto. Craig, excellent job organizing this. I have learned a lot during my short visits with you. You should be proud of your efforts and the participation.

Let's see some pictures of the fish caught from these piles! You guys are awesome!
Hey, tell me a story!

It was a good day. Thanks Craig, you did a great job organizing this thing, considering what you had to work with. I enjoyed meeting you guys and hope to see you on the lake.

Hey Craig; you and Bill did a great job prepping for the Brush day, and deserve a good pat on the back! Having the pallets assembled, and the Pallet slides on the boats made it much easier getting the pallets in the water! It was great getting to meet everyone too... and my stomach still hurts from ol Bill making me laugh so hard! Now there is a real character!
The Talala Creek fishery will be greatly improved after yesterdays work! It was great seeing everyone jump in there and get the work done, and it was very well organized! Craig had a smooth operation set up, and made for a very effective brush pile day! I am terrible at remembering names, but it was a real pleasure meeting you all that were there, and I hope to share a fishing trip with you all some day!
Thanks to Ed Moes for providing the outstanding T- shirts! Those are awesome shirrts! Can these be purchased? I now have a new favorite T - shirt!!!
Talala creek should be a great place to fish, and hopefully we can keep it that way for many years! Way to go everyone!!!

I fished some of them from 6 till 1:30. Most of the ones I fished were already holding baitfish and small Crappie. I caught around 30 under 10" and had 4 that barely went 10". One thing I noticed is that the GPS markings are close, but can be off about 10'. I would get to the area of the GPS coords of a pile, read the graph and try to anchor at the coords. If I wasn't sitting over the brush we dropped, I was close. I located them by flipping a jig out all directions and letting it fall back. If it was some of the fresh cut brush, I'd hang up and pull back some green leaves. I could see the top of a couple of the piles just under the surface.
(Special note to Chuck and Chuck, I didn't get Chucks number on my phone when he called, have him call again and check the number by the earlier sign in this thread.)

Ok, I've resolved my structurescan issue and am going to try to pinpoint all the drops we made. I need everyone that attended or helped to pm me their email address so I can give them the updated version once complete. Still would like to have Chucks phone number, white Toyota pu that helped topside putting the piles together. With any luck, I'll have the exact coords of all pile by the end of the weekend.

Are the coordinates going to be available for those that couldn't make it or had to work??? Have heard several people wondering, but were afraid to ask.

Last year at the Corps brush pile build we were told that it's ok to build your own piles but the location should be reported to the Corp.
Did they happen to mention this when you got permission?
Since the Corps published the coordinates to everyone for the fruit of our labor maybe you could do the same for the fruit of your labor.
