re: Toledo Bend 10 day trip coming up.

My dad had 10 shiners left this morning before leaving to come home. He made a quick run to a brushpile we planted earlier this year. He caught 8 real nice ones back to back. Needless to say, he went buy more shiners. I hope to get pictures later.

This was our first experiment. We used Christmas trees. I think I may make some PVC trees and go sink them too.

BTW: I am looking for a boat if you know someone with one for sale. I am not in any rush, so I am being kinda picky. I thought I found one last night but he sold it yesterday.

I want a skeeter or ranger no bigger than 19ft. 2006 or newer.

I was looking at the 519vx, 520VX or the zx-190, zx200. I am wanting to stay around $20k.

I'll keep my eyes open on the boat.
I think any kind of structure right now with the lack of grass will attract lots of fish.
How much cement you putting in the buckets?

I like that. I was watching a video on making them earlier. They said a key is to sand the pipes so algae can grow better.

If I were doing it, I'd use smaller diameter cross pipes, and more of them.

Has to be. The ones I found did not have them. No idea if the builder used them when planting. I would.

How are people allowed to just throw that into the lake?

There is no downside to it. It's usually in 20 foot of water.

I'll try to talk my buddy into fishing the ones we threw in last week or at least pass over them and look for fish.
If we do I'll let you know what happens.
