stakebeds and trees
Your looking like a pro.
A "suggestion", sir: cut the grey PVC a little shorter OR add a PVC set of legs ("X") thru the bucket bottom; it will help prevent tip overs. OR widen the spread so IF it goes onto it`s side it is still usable for the fish...(we had about 15 that "tipped over/ got snagged by persons trolling...) overall they look GOOD!
Looks good to me.
It may be just me...but I would think the pipe with the bends at the top would hold more fish than the straight pipe....anyone got any experience with that?
i was thinking the same thing when i got done with the straight pipe ones so i got some crossmember pieces for the next ones cause it was too late for those (already set up) i could rig somethin up but i dont think it would last,, so i think i will have to sink them all together to keep these from tippin over ,,Quote:

I do think leaving out a piece or two of pvc, so you could widen the angle might increase your coverage, r notch the side of te bckets to let you spread the legs a little wider, but I think it is just fine, just make sure you put down enough bucket to create a nice PVC Bed. I think they look great, and like the fact you are making 2 different styles to test which is working better for you.

I've been building similar beds for the past year & a half. I've had the best luck with beds where the branches spread out, but they all hold fish if placed in a good location. I've had even better luck where I mix a few wood beds in with the plastic.
Here are some ways to use your straight PVC. My last load of cable duct was mostly straighter pieces, so I've been trying some new designs. I made these under 3' tall to use in shallower water around and under some docks. Attachment 125354Attachment 125355Attachment 125356
