May have to raise the water level in the lake your fishing Sac-A-Lait if this hasn't even scraped the surface of your supplies...:D
BTW...I'm sure your neighbor loves the new lawn art!!;)
Hey sac
Good looking attractors. Just add water.:D Like the pans.;)
Dang,Sac. If they ever draw down real low or you have an extended drought
a NASA aerial pic will have the Feds scrambling to see what sort of sophisticated communications device has been operating from in the deep.
Or 400 yrs from now Leonard Nimoy will be standing next to your PVC condos
doing a segment of In Search Of.:eek:
Nice job man.

Looks like closing time down at the pub. (bar stools) You would have had to been there.........
This is just the start...The war on the Crappie has just begun...
I need to find me a "Mother Load"!!!
I been look'n for old solid plastic molded lawn chairs at the dump. Figure on weight'n them down on some spots. :)
NimRod I have used the chairs I put 3 in a circle with one leg in the concrete is how I do it but ya could tie one on top of the other they work pretty good the fish like to get under them
Been thinkin about trying a few of those plastic milk crates with PVC stuck in at all angles. A couple of large rocks would be OK to hold them down.
If you have access to the crates. just put a card board box from the liquor store in it and then slide pipe in and thru at all angles, then fill with a little cement...I'm happy with the production system as it stands now, KrappyKrazy I owe it all to you.
if you got the PVC pipe spend the extra 3 bucks per bag and buy 3 bags..I can get 2 or 3 condo's out of 1 bag unless I'm making them very tall, then it's usually about a bag per condo...
A dumb question...........
I and a buddy are making some crappie condos like the ones pictured here and also some in some plastic 5 gallon buckets, both types using pvc........we are going to make them about 5' tall and plan to sink them in 8 to 10 feet of water..........
My dumb question is when sinking them, do you just drop them over board or lower them to the bottom with a rope/string?????????
I was wandering how you would know it they did not sink straight down, but instead turned on their side, especially the 5 gallon buckets........?????????
I think 5 gals are a waste of time just due to the fact that they make the pipe stick up too straight. The pans like KrappyKrazy showed us to use, give you more surface area...Just my opinion...Look at the bottom of a 5 gal bucket...Really not that big around...I use the 18pt dish pans, has 4 nice corners to really lean the pipe back...
I go over an area, if it's flat I drop a marker, come back to it, anchor up, mark it on gps and get to chunking in a predetermined layout...
If on a slope, I switch up when making them and go with card board boxes so you can slam a plus sign thru the bottom giving it 4 great legs to lock into the mud...
Oh yea, where r u from?
from central Louisiana............I have a 4 large "tupperware" type plastic pans to use, there are about 12" x 20" x 6" deep........they are gong in some oxbows of the Red River and maybe a few in Saline/Larto..............
Yea , my production system now is 10 at a time...Height is not important but if I'm going to build some I'm building 10 at a time now...so I can drop 5 at each spot...The dishpan is 18qt not 18pt as I listed above...it's about the same size as what you have just $2ea and I reused them over and over and over.
