Bob and Greg..what can I say...THANKS!!!

I will buy the shad and have him go with your guidelines. I will also try to get additional shad from a nearby lake if they will let me, plus will try the egg experiment as well.

Greg, I received the 48 porcupine attractor spheres (www.lakework.com) I purchased from you plus the tag guun and numbered tags. My hands are sore from cutting 1,248 / 30" pieces of 1/2" schedule 20 pvc...lol. Looking back I should have just bought 48 finished 5 1/2' complete porcupine attractors, as I don't know if I really saved that much if I consider the time to cut all this PVC.

The attractors look incredible! I will be placing them soon in groups of three in various depths on ledges, points, old river cuts and flats leading int the shallows. I will be running some 1/4" nylon cord up one of the legs and drilling a hole in the PVC where it comes to the sphere and then tying off to the hole that is built into the sphere. I will tie the cord to a 6" x 6" x 8" concrete block to anchor so that don't roll of the ledges or steeper areas. I probably don't need to anchor them in the shallows, but I don't want guys pulling them up and moving them once I locate them in stargetic locations. I tell you what, these porcupine units blow away the 250 Christmas trees (talk about a lot of work and expense in concrete) I put in last year that are already breaking down and a nightmare at snagging lures! I wish I had this product earlier.

Cheers,

Dave
