That looks great!
that looks awesome ive been looking for something like this to build!!! how easy is it transport and drop, or do you build it on the water, and what keeps the boo from coming out of the pipe and floating up

We use roughly 14 pieces of boo per each one....We have 7 full holes in the pvc...14 if you count each hole on each side...
If you have any question?...Just get with me..
We are really excited about fishing these...

Sweet thanks. I've got all the boo and buckets I can stand. I found a boo patch that's like 3 football fields long and wide. Thanks again
We use 4in sewer pipe...It comes in 10ft length...Home depot has it for 7 bucks.....We cut into two 5 ft pieces...Make sure you put a few screws in the pvc.....When you put into the concrete...Better off safe than sorry...Have seen pvc pull right out concerte....Without anything acting as anchor....We found that 2in holes work the best for us....Quote:

I like the idea. How long does boo last in the water?

Do you look for a particular area or bottom feature to put out condos that are larger horizontal than vertical? I am new to putting stuff out for crappie and will be doing a good bit of it over the next couple of years. I would figure that in 17'-18' of water you would be putting out condos that are 8'-10' tall. Any insight into your placement of this would be appreciated.
Here I seldom put them deeper than 10' of water. Most of our bamboo in 5 to 8' of water and laying horizontal.
