Crappie fishing is not as big up here in the northeast as some of the places down south. I am anxious to start setting up some structure and cover in the places I fish but I hesitate. I don't want o get in trouble, any suggestions on some smaller sized structure to sink in about 9 fow that works well?
Tobacco sticks sack-creted in a cinder block work well. That is what I have been doing here lately.
Check with your DNR paying a ticket would stink.. I am sold on PVC structure. You can make them any size you want. I would like to try bamboo but Indiana does not have it :(

i took some 2X2 stakes cut em 2 ft. long and concrete in a roasting pan. set them in three to five feet of water and have been catching several the past few days.

You can make these in any length you want and are very easy to put out.

Good luck and good fishing............
I agree with the suggestions others have made, too.
For me, I was nervous about sinking some cover in my local lake because I wasn't sure what the authorities would say about it. I never could find anything in the regulations about it one way or the other.
I figured a tree on the bank that is dead will end up in the lake sooner or later, so it wasn't introducing foreign matter into the water. I cut a section of dead tree about 8 feet long, and sink it with a cinder block.
Once you get a good system figured out, it's pretty addictive to make brush piles. I've done it the last two winters, and I hope to get out this weekend to see what's going on down there.
Good luck to you!
mine look just like the ones above.
