Have not been a fan of plastic or pvc in the past

Some guys have sunk plastic and PVC in some lakes I fish with good success. I have caught good fish on them on several lakes . Figure using zip ties and ss steel wire to hold them together and fasten to concrete block they should last a real long time . I think they would not be as good on lakes that get drawn down for extended periods . Most plastics are harmed by sunlight . But if remain submerged they should do well . We heard they must moss over with algae . Been thinking about trying to add small bags of feed inside to kick start algae and minnows coming around .

Gonna put these in 15 foot of water. Hope they last a long long time Attachment 309003Attachment 309004

It is a good idea to rough up the pvc surfaces with sandpaper. It will then hold algae. If left smooth, any wave action just washes off any accumulated growth.

ArkieJason, I'm gonna be nosey. How much money do you have in each bucket o tubing?

I’ve got about $100 in the tubing, enough for 20 buckets. Buckets were free Attachment 309092

That's not bad.

ArkieJason, Is this what you used?

Or is it this?

Or something different?

I like the idea of "One and Done" on dropping structure but I also understand the algae growth problem but I think I can figure out a way around that.

With the plastic boxes it is almost free . Buy cheap zip ties and aluminum or ss steel wire . The boxes free for the asking and we gather up used concrete blocks usually free . Helps to share your catch and folks love to save this stuff for you . The boxes are crushed anyway after emptied .

I used the 1/2” drip tubing in the first link

That's a weird drop off. Is that in a river or lake?

It’s in a lake

We have a guy that sandblasts fairly often for us when we're refurbishing semi trailers. I'm going to buy a roll of that plastic tubing and get him to blast over the whole roll while it's still coiled up. That should roughen it up really good and probably blow some holes in it too, which won't hurt. I figure that will help algae to gain a foot hold on the pipe.

Good Idea!!
