Placing fish habitats!
What are the regulations, if there are any in Alabama, on placing brush, pvc, etc. for attracting fish?

I don't want to get a ticket for littering or anything like that. If there was a fine it would probably be small, worth it to catch some good crappie though. Catching them is tough for me right now but I can't keep from going and trying. Can't wait for some cooler temps.

Habitat placement in Alabama Lakes - do's and don'ts
Always check with Lake Owners. Alabama Power does not like wire, metal, or stake beds in shallow water.. If you use cedar trees and/ or PVC Porcupine habitat,with poly rope, and blocks/ bricks/ or concrete for weight, and place in 10' of water or deeper; you should have no problems.
Boater, Wave runner, towables, jet ski, and swimmer safety is Alabama Power's concern, in addition to polution/ trash. Never put junk in the lake, such as tires, old appliances, furniture, metal rods, etc.
Also, is is wise to avoid putting habitat in main travel lanes anywhere; when water is less than 10 feet deep.
All fish need habitat, the more the better. The loss of fish habitat is a serious problem on most freshwater lakes in America. Visit the National Fish and Wildlife's web site ( www.fishhabitat.org )for more information. Also visit

Take a Kid fishing, keep only enough to eat, and release the rest to spawn again. Pop

I have been fortunate enough to get my hands on a good bit of scrap pvc pipe. I have followed the lead of some designs on here. I have dug some holes in the ground the same diameter of a five gallon bucket and placed the 7 or 8 foot sections of pipe in there and filled it with concrete. I will be putting them in Guntersville, a TVA lake I guess. I am mainly concentrating on deeper places to fish in the summer and winter, edges of channels, etc. I would also like to put some in the transition areas from deep to shallow cover. I have a few areas I hit now that have this type of cover, but I think you can never have enough go to places when they get pressured.
