Also smart advice on cutting out holes and cutting a sprial into the tree. Crappie will get on a christmas tree without you cutting out holes, but you won't get near as many as you will when you do. Cutting out the holes allows many more crappie per tree - I know for a fact that works, when I scuba dive, I can see the difference.
since helping my in laws at their lake house we have created quite the habitat around their dock.

a pvc palace on one side, sparsly littered with cedars, and on the other side a line of cedars that we keep adding to as the years go by.

next year I will be filling up my 12 foot trailer and the back of my pickup with xmas trees, we are going to follow the natural slope off their dock and completely litter it both vertically and horizontally to creat holding patterns for not only crappie but hopefully some big cats.

if you put in the time and effort you reap the rewards when it comes to structure
