It's almost Christmas time and every year in ga I gather Christmas trees to put out as structure. I have a trailer and 2 trucks so we could have a few piles in different areas.
I also make snag less style structure but that costs money... And after Christmas there should be trees available all over the place!
there is alot of structure there and if you go ride around right now with water low you might be able to find stuff that would be a good start just to add to!!
What swamped said. I'd ride around and take pictures :)
I have found a few deep water spots / ledges that need a little structure! That 9 to 10 ft range
If anyone is interested in getting together and putting together some spots just let me know. I already have one wanting to make a few spots
Saw someone taking a PVC sphere out! Hmmm I wonder if they are a member? About 230 today if you are a member shoot me a message!
If you send me some locations, I'd be happy to check em and give you a report.:biggrin
I have a question - why would anyone want to freshen up someone else's brush pile - why not just make your own? Someone had to have put some effort in placing the ones that you're now riding around looking for - be a sportsman, if you're that interested in fishing brush piles, make your own. I would be highly upset if I put the work into placing my brush pile and someone purposely looked for it. Some of you may not like this post but I, as a sportsman, enjoy looking for fish and catching on my own - not searching for someone else's brush piles. (Just my opinion)
IMO I would love someone to freshen up my brush piles. Doesn't hurt me it help's.But I haven't done brush piles in years.Quote:

The fish finders out there now can pinpoint cover regardless of were it came from. Many post on CDC about these new gadgets.
I have no problem adding to existing brush piles it just helps out the fish! The more they reproduce the more we can catch. 80% of brush piles are never found and very rarely are all of the fish taken off of them
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. What I stated is certainly comparable with what you feel being a sportsman is. I just feel that a fisherman intentionally searching for man-made structure rather than laying down his own is no different from the person that calls themselves a hunter but searches out someone else's flag line when deer season opens because they didn't want to bother scouting. I am fair, courteous, conservative and good-natured, but respect the efforts of others. Sure, fish the natural structure and if you run across a brush pile, good for you. I just feel it's wrong to set out with the intention of looking for them because you have the "gadgets" to do so.
Back to the original topic! If anyone is interested in getting together and making a few spots I'm in lafayette
Hey fool, I'm game to collect some trees and make some piles with you. I'm in BR so we would just meet at the launchQuote:

And yes fishinfool1998 i would be intrested in maybe getting together and going put a few out!!!
Ok so far I have 10 pallets that I plan on making steak beds out of. I'm going by lowes and hd to price irrigation tubing to add to them and also plan on making a few PVC trees. I have about 5 cinder blocks now and plan on getting a truck load soon. I have been trolling the structure forum looking at different set ups and have a few ideas. I called fish and game to ask and they said as long as it's not in the channel where it's gonna mess someone's boat up its fine to put it out. Now I just need to talk to the C.O.E.
Ok so I have been looking at a few spots that I think will definitely hold fish I have deep spots and shallow spots some on the south side some on the north. Are there any places in particular that we could place some things that are outta the wind?
