lasting
Well there has been on here alot , about how long different materials to build Crappie cover lasts . The Corps have pulled our local lake down 8' below spring time levels and it is basically a shallow lake . Finding since last drawdown in 2010 , that lots of cover gone or in bad shape . In less than 6 years most of the Bamboo gone or settled to the bottom . Christmas tree about the same . Stake beds still look good ( driven in ones of larger stakes look best , some made of 2''x 4'' Hardwood ). The heavier brush piles ( larger dia trees and limbs) still look good . The PVC still mostly good shape but some cross members gone if not fastned securely , but i never catch much on it with all the wood sunk here .

I have also noticed that my go to brush piles are in bad shape. Reworked them with cedar stake beds in concrete filled buckets, just like Nimrod showed me how to do. They should be in place for a long time. Have two cedar trees that I plan to sink when the lake fills a few feet.
