tr21 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I was wondering if any of yall ever put any structure for the bass and if so what kind? In the fall the lakes around here get fairly low so it would be easy for me to put out some structure of some sort that may help me during the spring or summer months! I was thinking about something similar to the honey hole structure I found on the internet but making it myself! Any Suggestions? Quote
jeosbo01 Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 I have put out Christmas trees in the past, but not for years...they seemed to work pretty well and you can usually get a bunch of them for free in January Quote
Super User Sam Posted September 10, 2009 Super User Posted September 10, 2009 Brush, Christmas trees and logs (small portions of fallen trees). Quote
Super User Raul Posted September 10, 2009 Super User Posted September 10, 2009 You can place a more permanent cover other than Xmas trees or brush, those will eventually rot, but PVC piping or cinder blocks are forever. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted September 10, 2009 Super User Posted September 10, 2009 You'd be adding cover, not structure, to attract bass. Check your state laws, as its not legal in some states. Quote
Super User fishfordollars Posted September 10, 2009 Super User Posted September 10, 2009 Yep, I have myself a little milk run of brush I have deposited in the lake. If you decide to do it, do it at night or mid week. Otherwise it's known to more than a few. And before I get jumped on there is no law against it here. Quote
Clark Stewart Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Gotta love Dixie, In Alabama you can even get a grant to do it if you do enough! Quote
tr21 Posted September 10, 2009 Author Posted September 10, 2009 well I know for a fact it is against the law here in these lakes to put anything that is plastic in them! But I think I could use rebar or x-mas trees for sure! Quote
CJ Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Wouldn't rebar be a little rough on your line? I guess it would depend on how you placed it. Christmas trees don't hold good bass as well as do more solid covers like stumps and rock piles. Rock piles have been some of the best man made cover I have fished. Look for the darkest colored ones you can find, about the size of your head(as long as you don't live in Texas! LOL) Throw out a marker and drop all of them in the same spot a few feet away from the marker so it will make a pile. Quote
