Gold creek structure restoration project

I would like to give a big thanks out to some of the crappie.com member that took away from their time to come out to gold creek and help with project restructure, dano thanks for the use of the facilities, ski trip you help was very helpful, and aslo ski it wS nice to meet you and look forward to the future projects we talked about, midnight_150 and worldsworstfisherman it was nice to put a face to the names, your assistance it project restructure was great, we will have to do some more of it soon, hey midnight let me know when you work up the courage to go boat riding on Conway slabsntaters style. Tholley you structure was some of the most interesting, I got some really good ideas from how you done you structure, thanks for your assistance as well, and down to sorelipsnofish thanks for getting the materials for the stake beds and building them onsite. And also there were three people that did not have screen name and I am also not good with name so thanks to them as well I think in light of the project it was also a overall sucess. Thanks to all that was involved even those that dropped blocked and materials at Dan for our use.

Slabs, I had a great time last night too and enjoyed meeting you and all the rest of the crappie dot commers. Also enjoyed meeting those who hadn't become members yet but who are going to join. I agree the evening was a great success and look forward to fishing the structure and reaping the benefits from this investment of time and effort. Thanks, Dano, for the use of your ramp and for letting us stack some blocks there at your place. Turns out we needed more than we thought so there's not a lot of them left. But thanks for your participation in this effort. And Slabs, thanks to you for thinking this up and spearheading the whole deal:) I'll send you those photos as soon as I figure out how to get them out of my phone!:confused:

Ski if you want yoU Can post post them to the forum and I will post the ones that I have, then we should have it covered, it will be a good demonstration of what a good group of guys we had and what can accomplish In just a few hours of work. It may serve to get a few more of the dot com er's interested. We talk about doing some more work and it would be great to have more people and more materials next time.

How many did you havw show up?

Slabs, I haven't learned to post pics on the board yet so pm me your email address. I have the pics in my computer now.

Hey - Slab it sounds like you guys had a great time. Sorry I couldnt make it. I fish Conway 3-4 times a year (a haul from Jonesboro) but I cant wait to lose some jigs in the pool. And as for that boat ride Ill pay for that as long as I have my diapers.
Great job!

it was great to meet everyone! it seemed to go good. i will help whenever i can. ski trip, thanks for the pants for my partner. everyone else, i will pm the coordinates i have to you guys.

did any pick up my marker?
there was actually two others out there as i dropped that last stack bed. i did not know if they were any of yours or just left out there.

thanks and look forward to seeing everyone again.

Tholley, Slabs and I went back up in the pool right before we left and picked up your marker. Slabs has it. We asked those guys fishing over near the bank about the other two and they said they were there the night before so we left them. Enjoyed meeting you and your partner. Found the rainpants in the back of my truck. Glad I had them and he could use them. Slabs and I talked about doing this again soon. Are you in?

slabs we defenately need to get together and build more structure it would be nice to put together another work night ...it was great meeting new people from here ..I look foreward to meeting everyone again on the water..

I am definitely in to do it again! I am working on some others structures right now. just let me know. the next time i will hang out longer, too.

those deals i made sank good! let me know any suggestions to improve them.
the only thing i think is to basically add more pvc for more limbs. i also need to find some scrape supplies. please, let me know anything on that, too. i bought all the supplies at lowes.

we are trading the coordinates with the ones that were there correct?
once again I enjoyed it!

tholley, How did the black pipe one's do? I'm thinking of using it and running some 10ft pvc limbs though and putting a block on the bottom and a bottle on the top to float it up right. Make a 4ft tall tree and run the arms through and a float on top.

i thought it was easy to work with pvc, an pvc can to shoved through it. it is light weight to work with.
i think what you are talking about would probably work. let me know! what you see was invented very quickly at lowes after a couple of beers.

let me know if you can help on getting some of these materials at a discount or somewhere scraps are.

THolley, I'd say holler at Slabs as far as a date for another build and drop. I'm in, whenever it is scheduled. Also, talk to him about sharing the coordinates.

I have been bringing sorelip a few pallets when i can find em. Hope they help out.
