Thread: Adding cover around dock

A year after building my dock, I finally tried to catch some sac au lait from it. Fishing with shiners the first night (last week), I caught 9, and kept 7. The biggest went about 13". After that night, I got the bug. I made a stake bed out of about 70 willow stakes in the area I fish off the end of the dock (10-14 FOW). I also hung a few willow bushes upside down under the corner of the dock. I had previously drove some PVC stakes and dumped some concrete under the dock about a year ago.

My question is would sinking leafy brush like wax myrtles among the stakes increase production or are the stakes sufficient? What else can I do to draw more fish to the dock?

I'm willing to do whatever work I need to make the dock produce the best it can, but I just don't want to go overboard and have a negative effect.
