Bamboo Crappie Hotels under construction. 9/12/2016

MrS brought me some bamboo last Saturday and Wanda and I got them ready for the lake this morning. 2 5-star hotels, 1 4-star hotel and 1 3 star hotel. Grin. Waiting on the concrete to set. I won't post the location of these. They are for crappie only. No slimers, no trashy green fish, no yellow bass, no bluegills, and no Drums are allowed to stay. They will be set after dark just so lurkers won't be following me when we cut the red ribbon. LOL

Those look great! Hope they will be occupied to full capacity very soon!

Outstanding !!!!

I can hear the front desk bell ringing already!

They look great!

Saw you working on them as I was leaving the ramp, now where is my drone again?:dono
Gonna try for crappie in the AM too...maybe:fish

:cool:

Looks like a Holiday Inn Express.

:cheers2

Soon a sign will be flashing " No Vacancies". WTG!

Those are nice.

:scratchhead

It is just amazing how long a bamboo thread last in Tennessee :biggrin
As a side note those guys that use bamboo scaffolding usually wear wicker hard hats. I traded for one when OSHA came and made the Chinese workers use plastic hard hats while at dock. Osha didn't say anything about the bamboo scaffolding. Strange. Makes way better crappie structure if you ask me

That's why eggs are so expensive in Asia. [emoji23][emoji2962][emoji2960] :scratchhead

since that was '16 how did they turn out? did you get full occupancy or at least some seasonal visitors? inquiring minds need to know.

They are now run down and in disrepair. Gangs of bass and catfish selling drugs and causing trouble. :Rofl

Alas, I have made and dropped so many bamboo hotels in the lake, that I have a hard time remembering where I put them all. Some pay off very well as they have overnight guests check in and then suddenly disappear when I show up to collect. They are suckers for Bobby Garland slab slay’Rs. I put them in places that attract seasonal visitors. I put out a couple a few years ago and didn’t catch a fish for 4 years on them and suddenly the fish showed up last year and I have had a ball snatching the fish out of their rooms. :biggrin

I just watched an episode of Petticoat Junction, these look like 4 great Shady Rest hotels....
