Wow!:yikes Dats a lot of work ! But will pay great dividends!
I use one block for the small ones that I put under docks out of the current, and one filled with concrete for in the current. I use ones filled with concrete along the river and if I drop 4-6 at a time in one spot I use five gallon buckets with concrete with an I-bolt in the top

Lee I may take you/him up on the offer, it’s hard in my pontoon, with the dump he has would make things a lot easier. I ll give you a shout when I get the blocks and concrete ready, going to work on that this week. Sill need my boat to get back so I can have my way points to go by.

Ten fo
Really looking good cowboy!
Cowboy,
What’s the purpose of the I-bolt in the top of the bigger trees in the 5 gallon buckets?
I use 14-2 electrical wire , I run through the base of trees then run through the I-bolt that is set in the concrete that has a big washer and nut on it. I only do that with multiple trees, ive had the bucket handles rip off in the past, this way I have no problem. I’ll post a pic when I have some made up. Also you can run rebar through the sides around the bottom and make what looks like a big treble hook to help hold in strong current.

Thanks for all your hard work James. Please don't put any out in the area I fish, every time I fish them while spider rigging I stay hung up in them. They really do help the young fish by having a good place to hide and grow big. Everyone stay safe in this terrible cold weather. :fish
Ten four Roger. Most are going down the lake. But going to add a few stake beds around where you fish once I get my boat back.

Good going James. Looks like a lot of work that will pay off in the long run.
Cowboy,
I think i know what you are saying. I would GREATLY appreciate if you posted pics of the final product. I just learned the hard way about having my 5 gallon buckets with hardwood in them flip over. I will for sure be using rebar next time!!!
When you use rebar do you just drill a few holes in the bottom of the bucket, insert the rebar and lay the concrete and trees on top??
Way to go buddy. I plan on doing a few myself but nothing like you doing. That's a lot of work

That's a mass production project there for sure! Awesome job of collecting up trees. Now the fun begins.
