let us know results.
Looks good! I'm interested to see how it works in the lake.
Looks good.
You’re one heck of an inventor Mike!
It was a better idea for the fish tank. Red and black PVC was too pricey. We tried small PVC and it looked like crap when we did it. We will just find a five gallon bucket and fill it with wood stakes and concrete. We failed with this idea but had fun trying.
Mike
The buckets are a sure bet most of the time
Never know if ya don’t try Mike. I like the idea though.
Mike i made some out of cinder block, quik crete & tobacco sticks. I put three out in a spot & about 6 or so feet between each to make a spread of roughly 20 feet at each spot. A couple weeks ago i stopped to check on one bunch i hadn't checked since i put them out a month or so ago & it was loaded with fish. I left them alone & never bothered them.
Thanks for sharing it looked like a home run of an idea. Surprised the test didn’t go well.

"Tobacco sticks" might make for a cost effective replacement for the pipe. Your idea would certainly make for an easy system to transport and deploy
Working on a different concept using red, white, and black vertical sticks. Will post the concept idea this evening.Quote:

We found some tobacco sticks on eBay for under $10 and when they come in we will paint them red, black and white. All colors the fish can see.Quote:

Then we will put about five to seven in each cinder block. Cover with concrete and let it sit for a week. After that we will sink about five in an oval pattern. This is the design I created for my test tank. The fish seem to like the vertical sticks better than the horizontal concept.

Can't wait to see the finished product
Interesting thought on the paint job Mike. I look forward to seeing how it goes. As far as the tobacco sticks i'm lucky because a cousin has a barn full of old ones that are just ruining lying across the tier poles. I got around 500 the first time. I put 12 sticks in my block & leaned them to the outside & then another 4 crossed across each other in the ends to create a fanned out pattern which seems to work pretty well.
Looks good Mike it will be interesting to see how it works for you in the lake.Quote:

your post got me thinking about structure and the fact I have bunch of wild bamboo growing nearby and free. Saw on youtube dude making a PVC stick driver to put them in mud where you want them and going to stick them all around my slip and pontoon and all around the docks at my condo. looks like fun!
plus I bought a 6 inch hand battety powered chainsaw on line and it is so much fun to use and the battery lasts a long time. Good thing to keep on my toon and there are places around I can cut down a few saplings and put them right in the lake nearby.
