I am going to put out several stake beds in one of the big four in Mississippi and need to find the wood to use for the stakes. Does anyone have any idea where I can get what I need for the beds? I am 10 miles north of Memphis, TN. PM me if you need to.
pallets
I’m going to put them out in deep water so pallets won’t work for me.
I,We use 5 Gallon buckets with old Garden hose for limbs..Rocks in Buckets to sink and stand up on bottom..Put buckets in a 20 ft circle Around you boat..If lake level rises or falls always have something to fish..Put out several in Different locations..Where you normally catch fish..
The more you put out the better and it is cheap,clean and easy.Put bucket over spot release the handle..Mark it real good......Good Fishing...Even in high traffic areas You know what your Fishing others don't...Good fishing..

Find you a cabinet shop. Ask them about getting their trimmings. They have to haul them off anyway.

Find someone that has bamboo, if you want it to be long.
I saw where the corp is doing the habitat days in February. (Atkabutla is the 8th) Don’t they provide the stuff if you it out?
Also check with the folks doing hardwood floors and any local sawmills.
If you'll drive about 3 hours and pull a trailer, I'll send you home with more cedar slabs than you'll know what to do with.
Sawmills and pallet shops,should find all you need.

Contact small local Hardwood or Cedar mills . Some have small strips where they edge boards or scrap boards you could rip . May charge a little or get to know the folks Offer to take them fishing or share your catch it goes a long ways sometimes .
there is a method where you drive the stakes right into the lake bed . its pretty easy from what I saw . of course you have to find the stakes and make you a pvc driver .
just a thought , and most of the time brush tops and stuff like it lay in piles when they clear spots out and cinder blocks are cheap and a little nylon cordage and you are in business .
Spindle, I got stakes at a lumber yard on President Island once. They were on Harbor St. I don't remember the name of the place. Got all I could haul, no charge.

Driving stakes into the bottom of the lake is what I'm planning to do once I find the stakes I need. I'm also going to sink some willow branches too.
I'm looking to put out 100 or so stakes....that's a lot of ripping.Quote:

Sawmills like someone said and also lowes and home depot will often have a pile of wood that they cannot sell (cracked, splintered, etc.) and almost give it away for you to haul it off.
