A Few of our Beds

A friend, hotmod, and I have been building some stake beds the last few weeks.One of local lakes has been over 30 ' low for the last several years and have not been able to even launch a boat in the last 4 years.
The last few weeks we have almost gotten our annual rain fall and the lake has risen over 12 feet in that time frame.It has very little natural cover so we went to work.;) These are a few of what we sunk last weekend.Hopefully by next weekend they will be gathering some moss and maybe a few fish !!!

Cali, I wish we had gotten a better pic of whats past that fence.Its waist high cotton in full boll,as far as the eye can see ..In less than two weeks the foliage will be gone and nothing but a sea of white to be seen !!

That Cotton is ready to strip at this time, they are stripping some irrigated about a mile up the road from this patch. This that you see is dryland & I would guess it to be a bale & a half + per acre.

We need to build about as many more of the stakebeds as shown in the pic.

I think we may go give them a test fishing Sunday. I hope my new side image makes it in Friday so I can get it installed to get a good look at these things.
Will get a pic if I learn enough about the unit.

Bwoods good for numbers of whites and some numbers of crappie. But we are having trouble staying on the crappie and lots of them are not keepers! After we get some crappie houses made it will get better I hope!

They look good RadTexan, how many are you gonna put in each spot, and how deep are you thinking?

We have set out 7 spots with 3 in them. got a couple spots with 4 and 2 spots with 2.

They are all right at 7 ' tall.We have set them out at 15-17-19-22' with 22' being the deepest part of this lake. .Have only got to fish them once, very briefly,wind ran us off,so dont know what depths will be the best right now.My partner in crime on this build recieved his new SI in the mail today :) So hopefully by Sun night Ill have a much better answer for ya. !!
