is how long it took the crappie to get in this bamboo condo after I dropped it from 4 foot above the water depth charge style .KABOOM is how it sounded when it went down btw :yikes
and no I aint kidding and yes its 100% true .
6 15 am down 6 30 am fist crappie off it ...
crappie are in fact dumb as a bunch of rocks :Rofl
That’s almost to easy.....lol. Good job.
dang i think i need to make a few and GPS mark my spots lol
I like using bamboo also. It will usually keep up right on it's on as the chambers have air in there spaces but that also makes that more weight is need to sink them. Bamboo is also easy to work with the only down fall is they will only last a few years. Make sure you mark it with GPS. Fish habitat "build it and they will come". :fish
That was unbelievable but like we were sayn no structure other than shade those fish had a big smile on as soon as they seen that pile hit the bottom......
They came to claim their area.....
Great job! But tell me, don't you get hung up on all that brushy bamboo? I'd think that would be difficult to fish, but I've never tried it. :)
Great job, Ketchn. You said that crappie are as dumb as rocks and yet they still out smart me sometimes. Makes me wonder about my I.Q. :dono
I've been skunked too, now you have me thinking about my I.Q. ....... :Rofl
Nice catch....they find that stuff fast. I fish a tailrace that has a recycling dump down river a little bit. There are 2 mooring cells there for a barge to tie to for loading. I have been on one side of the river fishing...watch a barge dock there....pull off my spot and head for the barge and without fail 100's of crappie have shown up to get under them. Amazing how fast it happens.

almost impossible to hang a jig in it with that smooth skin on the limbs , a heavy hand might but most cant lose a jig in it . the little stuff will break off if you get hung in it and the big stuff is barkless . its a real nice thing to put down in no boating areas for sure .Quote:

What loop knot are you using? I look at the pics and then my knot books and cant figure it out.Quote:

I have a video somewhere I would post about how I tie it and its simplicity and speed from start to finish ,but we cant load direct to crappie.com and I don't have a you tube channel .
