Anyone know where in North Alabama I could go cut some Bamboo for some crappie structures?
Take I-65 North in Athens at exit 351. it is on the right about a mile before you get to exit 353. Huge pile. Just thinking tho I don't know the difference between cane and bamboo

Where abouts in North Alabama, I know where a magnum patch of What I call Cane is at.
That patch on I-65 is Bamboo
Are you who has been helping me spread it? The more I cut the more it grows.Quote:

Hwy 79 just before waterfront on both sides of the road !
The spot in talking about is about 2 miles west of iron man store on hwy 36 on the west side of hartselle. Me and a buddy was told to cut all we wanted. If your interested, I will try to run down the guy that owns the place to make sure. That was 2 years ago, I’m sure he probably doesn’t care. I just want to make sure lol
If you don’t mind I’d appreciate it Prater.Quote:

Still hadn’t ran the guy that owns this place down. I’m about 95% sure he doesn’t care, but would hate to tell you to go get it and him show up mad. I’m still working on it.
I use a chain saw... But usually getting the stuff 1-2.5" diameter.Quote:

Small folding saw works fine or a machete. I use to use bamboo, but now when I go through the trouble I drop PVC. It cost a little money, but it's there forever.
I have some bamboo in my pond that has been there for about 16 years now. Lots longer than I thought it would last and still in pretty good shape.Quote:
