GREAT,DID U SAND THEM

Where are the bottles? :^)

Man I believe that would work great. Algae will dam sure grow on pvc which will draw bait.

I've put a few out like them, It took less than 3 weeks to catch fish off them, this was in late spring.

How do you keep the nets from hanging up in them????

I made mine 5'/6' tall and dropped them in min. 15' of water.

I built these 8'-10' tall and didn't sand them. I plan on dropping them in 18'-25' fow. These turned out good I thought, I'm gonna fill some 2 liter bottles with spray foam and tie to top of the trees. I hope to built five more trees and 25-30 small brush pods out of all the short pieces for shallow water. I not sure about the nets. This is my first time going at this alone, I'll keep y'all posted on the outcome.

Sorry about the nets. It was meant to be a joke.

rolmedown: The biggest problem I had was when the lake was pulled down in the winter I went by to check on them and to see their condition (setting up/laid down, limbs broke ect.) all the buckets had 10/15 lb of concrete, about half of them were gone, not to be seen again

The currents in the lakes can be fairly strong. When the algee builds up on the tree limbs it causes a lot of resistance and is easy for the currents to move. The decaying algee and leaves the get caught in it produce gas bubbles. It don't take very much to make your tree very light or even float. Bottom line is that it still helps the fish somewhere. Another thing to remember is that cold water is more dense than warm water. When water gets cold in winter things are more apt to float.

Thanks for the thoughts sea dancer, that has never entered my mine, I could only see someone walking out to them and helping them selves.
