Who all would be interested in building a few pallet beds or brushpiles ? The lake is rising and should be full soon.
Nimrod, I would be very interested in helping build and put them out. I'm retired so have plenty of time and can work on this about anytime. I live in Conwqy so not too far away. Just let me know when you want to do it and I'll be there. Do I need to bring anything?
A strong back and a weak mind lol lol.;) Just kidding. I can get pallets to build stakebeds, nails, and stakes. Rocks to sink them are all over the banks.;):cool: You can bring whatever you have access to. We need to get Slabbandit , Harold, Fancyseats and a few more involved. Those with boats big enough to haul brush are whatever would help. Start posting to see who is interested before we discuss a time. I have some stumpy submerged Islands on the dam end of the lake marked with GPS. Thinking about working down on that area.Quote:

Anyone have a pontoon boat we could use? How much weight does it take to sink stake beds made from pallets? We had trouble sinking some of those in the pool last week. They were a little bigger than a 4 x 4 pallet though. Can we get all we need from the bank, or would it help for me to bring a trailer with blocks and/or rocks?
Nimrod,
Count me in. I would like to be involved. Weekends will work best for me.
Let me know what days you want to work.
Let me know when. I cam get some slabs from a saw mill near where I live. I can get
all the pallets we need also. I can also get some left overs from a shop that mskes
wood trim molding. It will be anything from 1" wide to 2" and up to 16' long.
Slabbandit is suppose to check with the Corps office before we start anything as a group.
are you going to do anything this weekend ? coming up there eather sun or mon .tell slabbandit i got him a whole bunch of big zip ties .looking foward to seeing you guys .are you catching any?
I've been thinking about putting some of them there bambo condos out just haven't got motivated to do it yet. Mainly waiting on the lake to fill up to full pool.
Not right now I was netting and just pulled them . Last time out Crappie fishing was Tuesday before Christmas , caught a limit. Think Slabbandit has been after sky carp with his boy. I might try the Crappie again before putting out anymore nets.Quote:

So when do we want to do it?
I can't be there on 1/25, 2/7, 2/14 or 2/21. But I can make it just about any other days. We can meet at my trailer and work there then use my pondtoon to put them in the warter. I have a air compresser and nail gun that I will bring. Let me know what you think. If you want to call me my number is 501-888-2570.
Harold
HOW ABOUT JAN. 29 or FEB. 8 unless weather prohibits? Everyone chime in that is interested. Also bring pallets or whatever else you can and list with your name. We can meet at Harold's in Carter Cove or Carden point launch. When everyone is committed we can pm cell phone #'s.
1. NIMROD /pallets can go either day.
Hey Nimrod,
February 8th is on a Tuesday. Did you mean February 5th, a Saturday?
Either day is good for me, and I will be there either day. I plan to bring a weak mind and a strong back (LOL) unless there is something specific we need. I don't have access right now to either pallets or hardwood boards but can be looking in the next two weeks. Can we get all the rocks we need from the bank of the lake, or would it be worthwhile for me to gather rocks and haul them over?
Plenty of rocks here and yes 8 was a typo.:o Feb 5 was correct.;) Lets hear some input on date and place.:DQuote:

If you use bamboo it will need to be built ahead of time if you use concrete. Bucket lids and wire can be used with blocks for quick builds. There is plenty of bamboo right in Carter cove. I mostly use pallets , but we will sink whatever you bring bamboo , PVC, or brush piles. Let's see how many want to help and what day would be best for the most people. I live close and can go almost anytime. We could even have 2 seperate work days if need be.
I'm gonna build a few boo buckets but I can get cedar trees and all sorts of stuff. I also have a bunch of 1/8th inch steel cable.
Looks like from those I contacted Saturday Feb.5 will be our day. We plan to meet at Harold's in Carter Cove. Unless weather does'nt permit and need to reschedule. I hope to see as many as possiable that fish Nimrod Lake. Harold will post directions, feel free to pm us for our contact cell #'s if you wish.
Copy and paste list , add your name and repost.

Tried to add my name to the list but not too savvy on how to do that so as you can see, it didn't work. My computer tutor/counselor/advisor is not here right now, so just add my name to the list!
Here you go Ski. Hope this build works out and maybe this spring we can organize a cookout or Crappie Camp on Nimrod Lake.:D:cool:

i can be there almost any sun. or mon. just let me know.if you need any of those big zipties i gave slabbandit before i can get down there i will meet you some evening i work till 6 but live in pottsville .
Hey guys, Feb. 5th sounds good to me , weather permitting. I've been having a lot of trouble with Arthritis in my knees and ankles lately so I probably couldn't do much out on the boats. I think that I could probably help out on the builds over at Harold's though.
ss2004, I would like to get some more of those zipties from you whenever.:)
Slabbandit see if you can get me some also.

Nimrod,
I am supposed to be going to Brinkley that day to pick up a dog. I will see if I can talk my wife into doing it for me.
If not will ya'll still be working that afternoon or that Sunday morning?
Forgot to mention that I can bring hammers chain saws cordless sawzall cordless drills
strong back and very weak mind.
Need directions to the work location.
Fancy Seats,
I will be there both days and will be willing to work both days if need be. We will be working that afternoon.
Harold,
I for sure can help Sunday and still a possibility for Saturday.
How do I find you. You there in Carter Cove?
i can be there sun,as well .will bring zipties .what time is every one gettingthere?
Nimrod said we would start about 9:00 a.m. on Saturday. I plan to be there about 8:30 to 9:00 at Harold's place.
Ski
Fancy Seats check your PM.
Looking forward meeting everyone, please don't forget your GPS. I will send anyone helping, the coordinates . If they don't get coordinates on the build or lose them. Will try to help those with GPS as long as they have an etrex and sure Slabbandit will too. Be a good time to ask questions on Crappie fishing structure and spider rigging for newbies.:)
Guys if this weather gets bads we may need to postpone this a week.
I'm not gonna be able to make it anyways. I will have my son this weekend but I might be able to next weekend for a few hours.
Well are you going to or not?Quote:
