Brushpile Help

Nimrod, the only reason I can see to cut a persimion tree would be if it was a male and not bearing fruit. Man thats some good deer food and my new favorite tree, now that I know deer and crappie both love it.

We acutally paid 50 bucks for 200 persimions a couple of winters back and planted them arround all of our food plots along with some saw tooth oaks, crab apples, arkansas black apples, and granny smith apples. Should make for some good deer hunting and crappie condos in a few years for my 7 year old son

good reading here ,instead of using copper another thing is to have 1 of your telephone co friends get you a roll of spinner wire this will last forever when you drive down the road look up at the phone lines (it's the wire that is used to lash phone cable to the strand in the air) will not rust..

They look good to me. One thing you need to watch out for when using pvc is it can be very tough to impossible to see it on you fish finder.

Let us know how you do on em.

Man you know I have the boo patch ready to go so just let me know when you want to get to work. We could kick out 4 some night next week in no time if you want to. You need to get some in the water at Norrell for your winter time fishing.

I was hoping I could pick up the fish easier than the PVC :D Got em GPS'ed as well.

How is the bite at the lake? I was looking for a place to go this weekend...When I went to Harris Brake I was very dissapointed...

Been slow lately for me. Catching a few in brushpiles along the channel drops 10' and deeper. Might try a while tomarrow.

Hey NIMROD, Have you tried any of those newer persimmon tops yet? Debra and I went out a little while Sunday but it was just a little too windy on the main lake.

I noticed a lot of shad in the river channel at 10 to 14 feet deep with fish around them. I should have tried these instead of the shallower tops I fished. We didn't do any good but enjoyed getting out on the lake.

I've been working a lot and staying at my Sister's in L.R. Probably have to work this weekend too. We're getting pretty busy.

I noticed all the persimmons have lost their leaves already. We'll have to get together again after deer season and build some more tops.

Do y'all prefer leaves on or off?

**NIMROD** · 11-01-2006, 11:29 AM

Slabbandit it's like most other times some produce now ,some later ,and some tops never do. I've caught a few and would rather spend the slow time building brushpiles.
Ceb ,I perfer to let the leaves fall off my trees first or cut them early so they fall off before using. The leaves will fall off anyway after a while. Don't want the tops too thick.:D
