Lesson Learned Sinking Pallets

Attachment 413887Attachment 413888Attachment 413889

This post is for all the rookies like me trying to make crappie hotels.

Tried to place these pallets yesterday. 1 CMU block per pallet is NOT enough weight for them to sink. It was a disaster. Haha.

I’m guessing I needed at least 2 block per pallet.

Try it and see...dunno

Two options. Add more concrete OR remove more wood! Good luck sir!

Once sunk into place those look like they would do a good job

Don't forget to put your name on them so that anyone that snags one can return it to you.:yikes

Ketchn may have some suggestions as well.

We will see how it works. My pvc brush hasn’t produced many fish, my real tree brush piles tend to cause lots of hang ups. I’m hoping my small jigs won’t snag as easy on these like they will on a tree branch.

I’ve heard of people mixing hard wood in with PVC structure. The wood helps attract fish faster and more until established and the PVC has the longevity. There are some other threads with examples here. Also really rough up the PVC first to help algae attach and grow faster.

A lot of the docks I fish have Christmas tree under them. Stacked full. Those things will grab a jig quick

I like the use of natural bamboo like guys around Mississippi use,,,
