I personally don't think the pallet is what brought all those crappies in.Something else, baitfish, weather pattern, storm, etc, etc, etc.No way one pallet on the bottom is the only thing keeping those crappies around.
Man GCD, you make some big structure. I bet you get some looks pulling that around.
Do you have to have a permitt to do that where you live.
If you live where bamboo grows I don't think you do much ice fishing???
I dint think that is legal to do in Pa. at least in the state parks. I know of one state park they let the Boy scouts do a project and they placed some cribs but I dint think any local can go out and sink plants or trees, If you were able to do this I would be sinking them in one lake that I fish that has no cover and very little weeds
my club makes porcupine cribs...you can see them in this link...scroll towards the bottom...made of 2x2 crisscrossed like a log cabin and anchored with 6 concrete blocks...our local fish commission helps out and they last upwards of 10 yrs...http://www.nanticokeconservationclub.com/id8.htmlour ice derby results and photos are there as well
I bought another 4 pac of "weed ez" artificial weeds so now I have 8, I am going to put them all around my big ice shack this weekend and leave them in, I'll let you know how they work. I have a camera so I'm interested to see how they attract fish.
