    Default First ever crappie structure


    Well had a slow morning at work and I had rounded up some left over plumbing supplies that I had laying around. Well this is what I came up with. Hope it works. If it does plan on building more.

    It is stuck down in a bucket of concrete. It is 3" PVC and the clear pipe is the new water pipe that they are using to plumb houses with nowadays.

    That isn't structure. Iff'n you wants to be a pro you'uns gotta learn the lingo. that be cover.


    "Structures are the physical features of a lake or a river bottom. From a fishing perspective, structures are areas where there is a variance in the depth or the contours of the bottom, and these changes can range from subtle to dramatic. Structures can be natural as well as human-made features of the underwater landscape. Structures are a big factor in fish habitat and certain types will concentrate fish.



    Before I get any further, let me explain what structure is not. Sometimes cover is incorrectly used interchangeably with structure. Cover refers to objects in or on the water that provide shelter for fish, such as vegetation or a dock. Of course, finding structure and cover together can make great fishing spots (e.g., a hump with a dense weed bed), so it's no surprise that the two terms get used interchangeably. "

    Build it and they will use it if it's placed in the right location. Don't forget to get the Corps Coordinates for Nimrod. I see folks already fishing the refurbished piles catching fish.

    I like the structure you built (structure like a building), now but it on some structure (like a drop on the lake bottom or a contour) and tell me where it is, and I'll let you know if your break (cover) in the structure works. ROFL.
