    Smile Brush Piles

    Get permission from the lake manager. Steve at Millwood is a great guy, he is going to allow me to sink old cedars that have fallen down and hanging in the water, plus the ones that have died. He said I could cut them.

    He is also going to start a christmas tree drive this christmas to get trees.

    Of course the brush will need to be weighed and kept out of the boat runs

    Persimmons are much better than Cedar or X-mas trees. Lots of landowners like to see those Persimmons gone as they sprout up all over hay fields.

    .

    Crape Myrtle----I have quite a few of these that I am going to prune and cut about 8-10 ft. out of the tops and convert them back to shrubbery. I heard these are great for fish.

    I wire the Persimmons togather and place on top of a concrete block. Wire on your block and toss in. The Persimmon trees will sink if green. The block is to hold up a little and keep trees in plce.
    I perfer pallet stakebeds over trees. They are cheap no need to cut live trees . Use discarded hardwood pallets add a few up right stakes , and rocks. They don't show up well , can be built to suit height (I perfer 2' stakes about 1''x2'') Sure easy to fish over and big fish like the room. Never build anything or use brush with less than 8'' spacing. Too tight of cover means more dinks and less slabs in my opinion.
