I've used screws and zip ties. Zip ties are the easiest for me.
So drill a hole in horzontal piece and vertical piece and zip tie each other together?

No I put a zip tie on each side of the horizontal piece.
Ok. Just to stop the horizontal piece from sliding out prettt much? Im not following how the ziptie only thru the horizontal piece holds it in?

Ok, I try to drill the holes in vertical piece as close as possible to size of pipe for the horizontal piece, then I put a zip tie around the pipe on each side of the horizontal piece close to where it goes through the vertical piece, hopefully the added diameter of the zip tie and the square part of the tie will keep the pipe from sliding out of the vertical piece. Hopefully that explains it a little better.
What he said. Try to make sure the square is on the bottom as best you can so it doesn't grab a jig that is sliding around the piece. Nice structure. Drop a couple of brushpiles nearby and it will work a bit better. I made a few like those and caught fish off of them in a few weeks, and they worked better after the brush was dropped about 15' away.
Ahhh ok. So zip tie goes around circle circumferance to keep from sliding thru? Thanks for input

I was able to find a whole bunch of self tapping screws at Lowe's that were on clearance, put one on each side as i slid the pipe through to keep the pipe from coming out. Also put a couple in the bottom of the "trunk" to help secure it in the concrete

Thanks. Is there any advantage of leaving in bucket rather than just taking formed concrete out and reusing bucket?

Guessing but the bucket does have a handle for lowering it into the water if you poured a handle into the concrete you should be able to oil and reuse the bucket...just my 2 cents.
Thanks. Great source of information. Helps!

Any reviews on what kinda luck these have had? Better fish when placed on a point, channel bend,channel ledge,flat,creek mouth, etc? How long before they showed fish, with sanding pvc and/or without? Etc

Ties and screws. I use a lot of pvc. Put brush nearby for better attraction as stated above.

when i do them like that i just use one of those triagular hole saws and drill the hole to where the crossbar barely fits. put a zip tie on each side. it wont come out. one other thing i do is i spraypaint mine with the cheapest paint i can find. seems to help them slime up quicker. (might just be my imagination). check out the pond management section of this sight. tons of great ideas there.
Good deal. Thanks all. Building has started

Looks great.
Point of clarification- your building cover, not structure. Structure is a drop off, river channel, etc. Cover is trees, weed, fish cribs, etc.
Thanks
