i used a combination of treated lumber, rusty metal, rubber tires and old haz-mat barrels. Just kidding. LOL.
I used dollar store plastic easter buckets, 30 minute sakcrete and kiln dried hardwood sticks. they stand about 4-4 1/2ft. tall and are about 30" wide at the top. im hoping they will be more snag-less then a brush pile, but will still be attractive enough once moss and such starts growing on them to bring in the food chain. i guess realistically they could get moved in the warm summer months as well. dive down, hook them up and pull them aboard to be moved to another location. i would think that hardwood should last quite a few years. so i guess i have a stake-bed style attractor but in deeper than a few feet of water.
and just a heads-up for anybody, i believe the 30 minute concrete dry time, starts the minute you buy that stuff, i barely got it mixed in 1/4 bag batches and it was getting set up.
my intent was to rig up a system where i could lower them down slowly on a rope of sort and "un-hook" them once they were on bottom and standing up right, but after fighting concrete, wind blowing my buckets over and breaking screws, it was all i could muster just to get them on boat without smashing them all in a fit of rage! LOL
Im actually kind of curious how they would show up on a good down or side imaging sonar unit.
