Buying Christmas Trees For Needy Bass
I was at the local hardware store when I saw a sign that said they were selling all of their extra christmas trees for a dollar apiece. I thought that they would make some great brush piles for my lake, because it doesn't have much structure. I bought twelve the next day and trailered them back home. I am curious about the correct depth to place the trees, on what type of bottom, and what type area that I should drop them. I would also like to be able to drop some jigs down and catch some crappie occasionally. Does anybody have any experience with brushpiles?
Thanks, culpritworm |

I put 3 in one of my family's lake always has at least 3 2lbers in them.... My grandparents, the lakes owner, was concerned with them floating up.. So we wrapped bricks around them with rope. I then dragged them about 25 feet of shore where not to many bass are because of no structure. And they are in about 6 feet of water and they work amazing. the one thing i would do different is attach them all together because they drifted a little bit but still works.

wrap a concret block or 3 and they'll stay put. plus the blocks also act as a little house too.

Here in Wichita, The city and County has numerous drop off sites to get rid of used Christmas trees. They shred them in a chipper and haul them off for mulch. Before they shred them, anyone can take as many as they like for free.

you can put a brush pile in just about any depth. fish will congregate on them at different times of the year. i like to put them on the edge of a dropoff. make sure you either gps them or make a triangulation eith several objects so you remember where they are.
