Thread: Setting brush piles Help?

I just trimmed peach trees and have quite a few limbs
Are peach branches good under water? Last a while?

Mix pvc and tree branches in the same bucket?
Everyone buys one 10' pvc section?

I like the PVC idea, easy to get, not messy in the boat lasts forever

Slabs 101 Did you drill thru the vertical pipes then slide the smaller ones thru on the water?
More info please. It looks like those just lay on the bottom on their sides? Do you anchor them? How many cross pipes?

ScooperDude I sent you a pm.

I cement one end in a cardboard box
I slide smaller ones in on lake I put bolts thru small pve on each side of bigger pvc so they stay in

Ive set out 10 with one boat trip


Ive also mixed pvc and bamboo

bamboo being best option but Pvc is more cost effective because they last forever
Less than $15 per Pvc set that includes cement,Pvc,Bolts

I probably have $400 in Wylie PvC brush piles
Some are 15 years old

I havent put any out in 3 years Had back Surgery
I use to put out 10-12 a year
I have 38 marked on my map now

If managed right these will produce lots of Crappie
I Only catch 4-5 crappie on one pile and i keep moving ( crappie will replinsh fast if you dont sit and empty each pile)
20 spots 4 or 5 crappie each I go home
With my back I cant fish all day

Oh yea I never lose a jig in PVc or Bamboo

Ya'll ready to meet and greet to get these crappie condos put in ? Looks like Sat . gonna be a bit damp but we can go inside T-Bones. Heard Grady was buying lunch anyway ! Got a $30. dollar donation towards material from our BiggDawgg ! Thanks Ron. I love spending money. Specially when it aint mine. Ya'll better come on out and add your 2 cent worth on this project. Never know it may actually work out. See ya Sat. bout 1:00.
