We have to try this

[@jodytfishing]

5 years later....lol How did these piles produce and/or hold up? Christmas trees seem to be hit or miss. What about location? I'm just getting into building piles and trying to have my own secluded spots. The problem I have is, our lakes around here get drawn down 20-30 ft so anything you out out gets exposed in the winter or too deep to fish year round. I'm guessing the best thing to do would be to make summer and winter piles, huh?

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

my only tip is that location is everything.

I built two of these and put them in the water yesterday. Many thanks for the detailed information. Expecting to set the hook many times from these crappie hotels...!!

[@jasonwoodard8132]

Love your ideas

[@markbaggerly7613]

Love the pup

[@2-4outdooradventure53]

Are fish using any of these?

[@dewaynehastings3191]

Just a thought put in the concrete let dry. Place the sphere in the boat unassembled and glue together on the water pvc glue dries quickly

[@Geoonthegrind]

True brush produces more fish for me than any PVC that I have put out. I've decided to stay with the brush at this point. Brush gives more cover and builds the fish up quicker on my lake. I've found that 20% produce the best. Every 10 equals 2 great spots. Great video.

[@jvaughn3495]

How did those spheres work for you

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

No very well. I think the PVC is not wide enough to provide shelter that the fish want.

[@dennisspivey4985]

Do you have a cut paste of parts?

[@vhf2582]

Did they work?

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

VH F not really. But I suppose that is still up in the air. Ask me after summer. 👍

[@mikebryant9493]

Now that’s productive time when you cant fish, build your own brush piles!! Love it! Thanks for the lessons

[@tayloranderson7213]

I want you to do a video of you fishing these

[@douglasp5799]

My local lake put some pvc structure out i have a hard time finding them on sonar.

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

Thats the advantage if you put it out

[@mikelauer8352]

Great DIY video Matt. Thanks

[@keyzfishing3918]

I love the idea. good for crappie

[@timweatherly7234]

Very Nice info and how to... Are the results in on how well they work? Please share. Thanks... Happy New Year!!!

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

Tim Weatherly So far my conclusion is regardless of how you make your fish attractors it’s all about location on the lake and where you put them.

[@timweatherly7234]

@@3poundCrappiefishing any recommendations... i have a few made depth of water and other ideas?

[@timweatherly7234]

so it is not build it and they will come....

[@timweatherly7234]

i have been told it is bedst to be at least twelve feet of water.

[@mrgarrett9064]

Can you make a video finding a location where to drop your attractors. Or what do look for when you're fixing to put them in the lake

[@dcstolteadventures]

Good stuff. Did you consider spray painting pvc flat black instead of sanding? Would allow algae adhesion with less work maybe.

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

Dennis Stolte I didn’t consider. Never heard of someone doing that

[@fishingwithcamo-joe88]

Your a Savage.. with your cord's on the ground in the RAIN.. LOL I LOVE IT

[@tyler238]

Thats how u know he takes care of his tools.. Only people that get paranoid abouta little water are the ones with shitty frayed equipment

[@davidhefner5668]

I can tell where to put them...😁

[@twinstone7509]

Great tutorial, look great!

[@danielsmith1228]

I didn't see you at the Crappie Expo

[@boesenberg02]

Haha SK, ill take them coordinates also lol. Look forward to seeing the videos of you fishing these spots later on, hope they work!

[@ShaneJMcNair]

They're going in the water... Lol

[@ItsACrappieLife]

How long does it usually take before you start catching fishing off one?!

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

They all differ. No magic number. If your lucky that afternoon......but Ive never been that lucky. Give em a few months

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

👍🏼 #1...... And they say crappie catchn is easy......LOL..... Hey go ahead and send me those cords when you get time......😅🤣😂

[@jhollaway8843]

SK's CRAPPIE Catchn Adventures It been awhile since you put anything out. I hope everything is good with you and it’s just the weather.

[@SK_CrappieCatching]

@@jhollaway8843 Yes sir everything is great, spending a lot of time in the woods.....I do have some footage I need to edit but just taking a short break before I hit it hard for you guys...... Thanks for asking.....

[@bakervinci163]

This is the diff between catching fish consistently. Better waypoint them. They can be hard to find. I have a gabster as well. She is 22. Wind in your face.

[@Asapfishing1]

I rly want some of those in my pond someday!!! I just uploaded a new video!! Go check it out🔥💥

[@shanebarrett5827]

Do you have much luck with the pvc? I made a bunch out of pvc last year and fished them this summer without much luck. I didn’t sand mine though😬. I’ve started making them out of poly tubing that’s used for drip irrigation and they are awesome compared to the pvc. Plus the poly tube is cheaper and easier to transport because it’ll flex. I can send you some pics of how I make mine if you’re interested.

[@3poundCrappiefishing]

Shane Barrett I tried bamboo last year. Didn’t work either. I think location is most important

[@oochopper]

@@3poundCrappiefishing I have done some bamboo myself. Put em out in spring. Caught fish on them already. But I put them in a shallow 13 acre lake. I read somewhere a guy done a test with this fish fertilizer. He rubbed down all his sanded pvc or drip tubing with this and let it dry. His attracters were set up to raise and lower. The ones he used the fertilizer on had algae growth a lot sooner than the ones without. It was called Alaska fish plant fertilizer 5.1.1
