Mini Mega Mat

Taking Jerry Blake's design and modifing it to my fit my own needs, I found this to be one of the easiest structures to create and put out around our boathouse.

I used two cinder blocks to increase the weight for ski boat traffic and to raise the bamboo up some so that crappie could move underneath to escape the summer sun ............next year (it was 35 degrees here today).

A couple of blocks, 8 pieces of bamboo 10' in length, a little rope and made six of these in a couple of hours. Hopefully next spring they will attract some prespawn and spawning crappie.

This would be a great application for anyone wanting structure in 6 to 8 feet of water. Each one ended up being 16' long when it was all together.

It looks like a great use of bamboo. I wish we had some in the area where I live but I haven't found any yet. Good luck and if I had that in the depth your talking about here in Tennessee we could catch fish off them in a couple of days.
I seen the barrels in the background, are you going to sink them with the boo?

You're on your way to some good fishin'...probably a long time before spring, if you care in check in a couple of weeks or so. Thanks for sharing.

I gotta make me some of those for my shallow areas. <><
