Thread: depth of cover

50 ft of water... man that is deeeeeeep.
I would tie on a weight and about 20 ft of rope in the top of the tree and throw it over... the crappie should suppend over the trees depending on the time of year....
You could sink some trees shallow for some spring fishing too....
Any structure is good holds bait fish and crappie...
Good luck!

Is there current in this lake, specifically by your dock?
If so, that current and 20-30 of rope will push that tree all over the place. Where it finally ends up nobody knows. If you want it to stay put your going to need a ton of weight.

I think your better off building up that cover over time. Every year stick your Christmas tree in a 5 gallon bucket and fill the bucket with concrete, remove bucket, and drop it off the dock. Get all your neighbors trees too.

Or you could stick a 30' tall tree ina 55 gallon barrel and fill the barrel with concrete, push that off the dock and pray it stands up.
