    Grab some persimmons when they ripen and they make great catfish bait too!!!
    Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn. :rolleyes:

    Hedge very hard to beat....hardwoods will give you more time out of your brush pile although some cedars are very good attractants for fish but you give up the "shelf" life of the structure.

    The only thing I hate about hedge is handling it.You want to make sure you wear long sleeves and have a good pair of leather gloves.The way the branches grow makes plenty of area for the fish to hide in and can be fished fairly easily with a weedless head.Dont know if it the same tree you referred to J, but they grow large green looking fruit( good for keeping spiders out of the basement by the way) about the size of a large grapefruit and the squirrels like them.As mentioned before they last for years.

    Yep, that's the same thing :D We call 'em horseapples, though don't
    know if horses like them or not. Did have the vet tell us our Charolais
    bull had probably nearly choked on one once though - long story!
    Sorta paralyzed some of his "swallering" muscles, he'd get packed up with
    hay like a grass catcher in dewy grass...

    wonder what a cypress tree would do since they live in water or wet environments?

    My neighbor has a huge magnolia tree and those leaves are enormous. Seems like they would make exceptional cover. Wonder how it would last under water? I may have to hack off a few limbs this spring and test it. Or figure out a way to use the leaves that are everywhere on the ground.
    On a side note, the leaves make amazing cover for worms. I can go out there and just kick them over with my foot and collect dozens of worms in no time at all even during the heat of summer.
