Just Thinking Outloud - new structure

Okay, so the misses decided we needed a new artifical tree this year (granted, ours was lookin pretty sad)....

Here's my idea:

We all have made pvc crappie condos - idea being some structure, plus algea growing on the plastic....

My thought, the old artificial tree that I'm getting rid of is 'plastic'...the branches and leaves are all made of plastic (some sort of plastic at anyrate)...

I'm thinking I could stick it in a bucket with concrete and let her down for structure - should last for a really, really long time and work just like a tree/pvc crappie condo...

Thoughts????

go for it....

Might get expensive, but otherwise sounds like a great idea. The wife will have to buy a new one every year!

when she buys a new one, it's always after christmas, so they are really cheap - and it's only every 4 or 5 years...but I know a lot of people throw out their old artificials after the season, so thought I could probably drive through the neigborhood and get 2 or 3...might make i nice crappie bed in one of the open boat slips at the dock i fish!

That sounds like a great idea. Sounds like a no brainer to me. I'd do it! I just might!!:D

I put out a few artificial trees a couple of years ago in the shallows and they worked great ,I can see them now with the water down and they are still fully intact

Sounds like a great Idea as long as the tree is one whole piece. If it's anything like my artifical tree the branches are put in separtly. Don't know how you would keep all the branches intact in that case
