No but I do happen to know the owner of Southern Kentucky Granite. He gives me the scraps in trade for some fillets, which is also how I get the duct tape, and the wood for the beds. The only money I have in them is in the screws for the bottom frame and the peneumatic staples for the uprights. There's gas involved too but I drive past both the pallet factory and the granite shop anyway so it's a wash.Originally Posted by smashdn
If your looking to make your own honey hole you can call your own, Fish & Wildlife has a big pile, around 500, Christmas trees in the parking lot at the Port Oliver boat ramp. You'll need some nylon rope and a few rocks from the shoreline. They get to be snaggy so make sure you've adjusted you depth finder so your not leaving jigs behind. Use nylon rope, it won't rot

For whatever reason this year Lowes must have bought way too many cut trees. I bet they had close to 50 a few days after christmas. KDFWR posted on facebook about accepting trees so I let them know if they had a trailer they might get those from lowes.
We have a hard time getting our pallets picked up at work. I will probably start loading them up a few at a time after duck season goes out to start making stake beds.

Every year KDFWR puts fish hides out on our lakes. Hundreds of them. They collect trees from all three of our local Lowes, and Home Depot then take them to the lake, along with blocks and rope, just to keep our smiles in tune and a thump on our rods. Thanks to Eric, Kala, Philip, and Mark for the work they do.Here's a site that will give you an idea of what all they do. Just click on your lake, once on the map of the lake, click the brushpil for individual waypoints. Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife Lakes with Fish Attractors

Nothing for Cumberland ?

It might be possible that Cumberland doesn't get the habitat, the website does say, "Lakes with fish attractors"

Now that Cumberland is back up, after 7yrs or so, they probably don't think they need any there ... what with all the trees that grew up along the shoreline & in the backs of creeks while it was dry all those years.

I don't know if it's ever been part of the program.
Your right, doesn't need it, there's almost too much cover now.
Probably several thousand acres
There are areas where the trees are too thick to fish
It's going to be wild in another year or so, all those protected spawning/ nursery areas

I have a couple Christmas trees but no place to put them.
All the best spots are covered in bushes
