Slab Addict, Im not the expert on this Ranger09 is the guru on brush. But I do have a little expeirence learning from him. Rule of thumb is the muddier the water the shallower the fish. The clearer the water the deeper the fish. Now this rule has a condition, and that is how deep the lake is in the area you are fishing. Now the north end and south end of Eufaula the fish are around the same depths. As for midlake to the dam the fish will run a little deeper because the water stays clearer. Don't be afraid to spread your piles out a little bit, depth wise. EB
