    Default sinking trees


    On the Corp lakes is there a right or wrong way to sink trees to make my own fish habitat?

    I've got several 7 to 8 foot Christmas trees do you think 2 cinder blocks a tree would be enough?

    Plenty if what you tie them on with is adequate and last longer than the trees.
    Tell'em I'll be there.

    Get you some of those cheap thin plastic gallon pots that shrubs come potted in, use 2 with a bar connecting them , fill with quick crete and tie them to the trees with 3/8 nylon rope. Thats enough for 2 average size trees.

    Up here on Shelbyville they don't want you to put your own habitat in but that don't stop them. They are trying to set up rules about it where the top of them be no less than 6' under water during winter pool cause of all the recreational boater on the lake. And no plastics because of the EPA rules.

    Place them on river edges. Needs some put out from the mound to Wyatt's. some of the trees they dropped off at hurricane the local kids snatched em up and has a good Bon fire with them. Personally I don't like fishing those trees. I like using natural branches and limbs that's on the waters edge that stuff is everywhere and the fish love hanging around it. Just walk out there gather some up and make some structure.
