    Default building crappie hides


    i was wondering if these will make decent crappie hides. this is my first try at making some and wanted to get some input from you guys. i plan to sink these in about 20ft deep water. i have a picture of them attached below. let me know what you think and if you have any other good ideas that work well.

    Try searching "sturcture" in the forum. There have been some posts in the past that give some very creative structures for crappie. Yours look simalar to some I put out last year, that produce good results. Mine were about 10' long though.

    Golden: Do you want those condos to remain standing once you place them in the 20 ft of water? Looks like you have them weighted with concrete...right?

    Default concrete

    i put between 80 to 120 lbs of concrete in them depending on how high they are. the pvc is 3-4 full plus the bucket on the bottom

    If u made the bottom bigger I think it would help keep them standing up better. with the small base it wouldn't take much current to turn them over.
