After catching my limit yesterday, met up with harold and steve48. We hauled a couple loads of pallets on harold's barge and sunk them in piles with concrete blocks. We keep try'n different things. Those were in poor shape so we just sank them in piles on a hump next to a channel. These should more just like stumps but probably hang up just as bad.:yikes maybe steve48 will post some photos from his side image next trip over.
Which reminds me. I gotta get on my project pronto:biggrin
What ya waiting on? I may be making a trip to your area soon. Might be a weekend , going to see grand kids with Kena. Would we have to spiderrig if we fish? Second question , if we did would you tell?RoflQuote:

Hey RCC let me know if you need some help. I can help after work.
Hey u got any underwater images of the pallets
I didn't even wet a hook this weekend. Helped get rid of some old pallets, but you can bet I will have some next time over there.
Just come on over. I betcha a quarter that we can find a crappie. If all things are perfect, we may can find 2 crappie. We will NOT spider rig. We may end up vertical jigging with 12single poles simultaneously while moving at a very slow speed. RoflQuote:

Yall ever tried sinking privet hedge? My dads got a ton of it at his house and I told him as bushy as it was we needed to try sinking some for the crappie. I've heard you can tie a small pop bottle in the top and it, brush will stand up?? I was always afraid it wouldn't sink as well, even with a heavy weight on it? I've tried to sink stuff before but never had a whole lotta luck on it. Tried sinking food stations, PVC with holes in it filled with rabbit food, dog food, whatever should draw minnows but never seen it work that well?? Back to the privet hedge, has anyone ever done it and would it work better being so bushy?
Actually almost anything will work. I don't like things too bushy. Perfer things to have lots of space for slabs to hang out. Bushy / tight cover cause hang ups and hold too many dinks.
I'd definitely agree with nimrod, fish don't seem to like real thick real brushy, yes it may attract minnows but the purpose of sinking structure is the provide cover, shade, a place to hide out for an ambush on prey and baitfish, I've sank cedars, PVC,bamboo, and woody structure, such as 4/4 @ 2/4 post in 5gal buckets of concrete, cedar wasn't very good at all PVC not so good either, bamboo and wood have produced the best for me
