Paxton R Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Ok so i read that if you get a laundry basket with holes large enough for minnos but too small for bass and put a rock in the bottom then cover the top so fish can't swim in this may create a new spot for fish to bed and potentially a brand new honeyhole... Any input? Quote

BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted June 30, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted June 30, 2009 Never heard of this "trick". But I've heard of people using old tires to create bedding areas with success. Quote
JellyMan Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 It takes a few years but every year after christmas... take you old christmas tree and put it in a spot on a pond or a lake you fish. Me and a buddy did this for 6 years and only we new the exact spot. Always had fish on it! Caught a 12 lber on it with a crank bait too. After 6 years we had 12 trees in this one spot. The bass loved it. Quote
SammyLee Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Christmas trees with rocks tied to the base, old tires with rocks inside and sank upright, me and dad every year. They made spring time fishing great. Quote
Bernie Mac Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Sounds like it creates a new feeding spot for predatory fish...good luck with it Quote
Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Not sure what you are trying to accomplish.... More spawning area? More bottom cover? A baited area? For more spawning area, the bottom make up is much more important, also the location in relativity to deeper water. Adding the caged minnows to a mud flat will not result in more spawning area. personally, I'd spend my efforts finding and learning the areas they are already using with success For more bottom cover, there are lots of NATURAL things you can add to an area like trees and rock. Many artificial things are used also but those who don't fish just view it as trash in their lake. Careful As for a baited area, go with Tin's suggestion. Attract the bluegill w/ bread, save your money. Bass won't congregate around food they cannot get. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted July 3, 2009 Super User Posted July 3, 2009 Just make sure it legal, there are many places that it is not. I really don't get it, it's polluting the waters however you look at it tires, benches, even used Christmas trees, all contain foreign chemicals that are potentially harmful to the wildlife, especially used christmas trees with the chemicals used to make them greener and last longer if bought from a farm. It's one thing to clear land and place natural wood and structure into the water but to intentionally pollute in the name of conservation doesn't sit right with me. Someone throws a can or bottle into the water, trash, but an old tire, habitat. Quote
