What is the best way to fish bamboo?

[sethook]

Should you fish right above it, around it, or straight down in it, or all of the above?

Thanks

I fish above it....the boo is 15 ft tall and I got them in 40 - 42 ft of water....
I have them under a bridge so I know where they are.... hard time seeing them on the graph.....
Hope that helps....
Good fishing...........

all of the above works for me also. I will fish our boo piles with a microspoon from crappieday. Toss it out and let it come back to you through the boo . You can feel it when it touched the branches. Then I jig a little and reel it back in for another try

on average would you say most of your catches on boo come when your jig/minnow is in the thick of things or on the edges?
i ask this because we have fished several boo piles with hardly any success. only 3 or 4 fish off of several piles. i wonder if we are not getting our jig into the structure enough to get bites?
