Thread: First ever crappie structure

Gomer. Where are you getting this definition of structure from? I've seen you post it several times.

He is right. Structure is considered the structure of the lake as opposed to cover in the lake. Bill Dance used to explain it almost every week. What fishermen really need to find is a break in the structure. Hence cover, docks, logs, trees, stumps, rocks, humps, and man made cover etc.

"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. "

You wouldn't want Bill Dance to think you were an amateur would you????

Us regular people knows what he means. UNBELIEVABLE

very pretty

Ditto. All structure placed wont turn out to be hotspots...unless you can think like the fish do. Looks good though.Thumbs Up

google is your friend.

Well sheesh excuse me. Crappie cover. Whatever you want to call it it was my first one and hope to get to sink it Friday.

I like it. And I think the fish and fishermen will as they will probably not take time to decide if is cover, structure, hidey hole or whatever. Good job. Something like that should last awhile. Thannks for sharing with the rest of us.
