I dont know if there are any other states that are doing it but we've had 2 crappie.com bed building projects,so far we've built 126 bucket/stake beds,with everyone pooling our resources and labor it is a good way to get alot of stuff soakin in a hurry,we're gonna try to do it every month or so.....in a year os so we'll have hotspots all over the lake not to mention its alot of fun gettin together with the fellas.
This is great idea. I wish I could get more guys interested in this in our area but we have to do this in the cover of darkness. I can't seem to get ODNR to help us out by letting us do this in the buckeye state.

We had one today here in MS. John will post pics when he gets home. Not sure on the total we put in...I'll check my GPS......:D
We had to do it the hard way, Bugs. We took our boo and canes, tied them to stakes and drove them in the lake bed. Miss. Wildlife takes a dim view of putting plastic buckets in the public waters. I've put some in my private lake for the bluegill and bass, but we will have to have a permit from the COE to put plastic in the waters of Miss. That makes it a slow go putting stuff out, but it can be done. Pstone can attest to that. I think all of us were burnt out from the Wolf lake trip.
Oh, by the way, I gave your stake driver to Patrick. I'll have to make you another one.
Hey John if you want me to next time I will bring some buckets that I cut splits up the side. We can take the bucket off and re use them again. just let me know.
Now, that may be the ticket. Why didn't we think of that before? haha Sam, you're a genious.Quote:

For boo don't over look the old 3 hole concrete blocks. Just set them on a board and pour mortar mix in the holes. Stick in the boo and let dry. Always will stay upright when droppingand after they settle, at least in my experience.
Why the bamboo? Why not pvc?
I made some and dropped them into a river I once fished. They worked great, I didn't have to worry about them breaking down over time, and best of all my jigs never hung up!
