You might want to go to your Lowe’s/ Home Depot, tractor supply etc to see if they have any that didn’t sell they will usually give em to ya to just get them out of their way! At lest they do over this way!
Alot of work for Barnett. Half the lake is structure now lol
Stop making with the negative waves!
I am always on the lookout for Artificial Christmas Trees 365 -- I take then apart and use the Limbs to Break up the shape of Deer stands where they blend in to the woods --- they last forever... if those things were put on the Bottom of the lake they would still be holding fish when your Grand Kids have Grand Kids of their own...
I get anywhere from 5 to 10 a year to put in Okatibee

I dropped some bamboo this morning. I will be looking for a few Christmas trees also when they start putting them out. Using the sand bags, drilling a hole through the bottom trunk then attaching them with 24" zip ties should make them pretty easy to deploy.
LMBO, I put a few and some bamboo in there on some good ledges. They all became Jaspagoo hot spots lol

That sounds great to me. I don’t mind sharing my little honey holes. Okatibee got so many fish you can’t catch em all. Lol. I hate cleaning all those needles up out the boatQuote:

Parking lot full at the Agricenter in Memphis that didn't sell. Just stacked up. I doubt anyone's feelings would get hurt if anyone took some.
They make good habitat for lakes that go through dramatic draw downs and have little natural structure left. A hundred or two Christmas trees could save a lot of young crappie's (fry) lives from larger predators. Makes great hiding spots for the newly hatched.Quote:

I completely agree with you on that aspect. Great place for fry to hide on the Corp lakes. Barnett however does not go thru a drawdown and has more structure than carter got pills. Most folks put them out thinking they will fish on them. It’s Very frustrating to jig a Christmas tree, I would much rather fish a larger cedar or oak top with big limbs.Quote:
