    I also saw a pic of the State of Mississippi using these but made out of double hole blocks with maybe 20 risers coming out of them. Do you find that the pipe stays in the concrete OK, or are the sides too slick and let it slip out? Just wondering if I should drive a nail or something into the pipe to give the concrete something to grip to? Have you actually found bass to hang out on these? We made some large PVC pipe tree structures a few years ago but so far have not had much luck with the bass being interested.

    Regarding "roughing them up to better allow algae to grow"... I read a suggestion someplace about just tying the pipes in a bundle, and dragging them behind a truck on a rough road. Sure sounds like it would roughen up the pipes. richg99

    Love the idea. Just put two structures out using PVC and a couple old water hoses. Holds fish but you guessed it...you can hang a plastic worm in it due to the water hoses. Thought the hoses would float around more but I'll use pipe next time.

    If your using 5 gallon buckets, cut them in half. Holds more than enough weight, also get two molds for the price of one.
    I like the pick of the plastic 55 gallon drums, gonna have to try that one.

    These limbs are made from vinyl corner pieces for sheetrock. Screwed to a piece of treated 2x2. Put the “V” up to catch silt. These 5 were put out in July and are now LOADED w fish

    I did this around my dock several years ago to call'em up for my grandson.

    I cheaped out. I made a pass around a couple of new developments and grabbed a bunch of scrap pex pipe and some big black plastic flower pots from landscaping. Used about a half or third of a bag of quikcrete in each pot. I also had some leftover irrigation pipe from our build and used that too. Pex is a lot stiffer

    I also wondered about algae formation on the pex, so did a test. I hung a piece of pex and a piece of irrigation pipe on a string from my dock. After about a week both were covered in slime - In MS in August so water was probably 90 degrees.

    Now we have several old guys/retirees that scavenge new neighborhoods for raw materials. Then we get together for a few beers -- I mean to build new pots- and use a pontoon to put them out. I guess that's a new twist on "cocktail cruise".
