the key is you want the prop stick to be "level" with the water and about 3-4 inches above the water level ..
google up prop stick picture for crabbing.. that will give you loads of ideas.
keep it minimal.. the fancier it is.. the more likely it is that stuff is gonna get hung up on it... simple is better in this case.

ok, I didn't think 3/4 would be strong enough for me to be confident in it having to be lifting the chains n stuff plus getting knocked around in the boat because, well we all know stuff happens lol
think i'll go with 1" just for added insurance in case I step on it or something
have to see how it works out but my idea for now is to wedge it under the motors hooks (where the screw thingy used to be) and then screw it down on the corner brace of the transom. that will put it about 2-3ft behind me so I should be at the right spot to catch the crabs just before or just as they break the surface.
I should have plenty of trout heads on hand for bait and most likely some small white trout I assume, not sure how good the fish heads will attract them though
