Just about anything makes structure on barren lakes. The thing to
remember is to locate it very close to another structure (point,ridge,
saddle, shelf close to a channel, on a long point that runs close to
channel, etc.) or on top of a large barren structure to help locate
them in a smaller area.
Old vs. new: hotly debated! Many old rumore about new brush not holding
fish,,,,,bull hockey! I've caught fish off of it within 2 hours of
planting! Now, as the foliage starts decaying, it will deplete the
oxygen in that area and while that is happening, it won't be as
attractiveto the fish. Once that has ended, it'll start holding fish
again (maybe a couple months depending on type). Best woods are white
oak, cedar with limbs hacked off to create holes, osage orange (lasts
forever!) or mullberry and more. Soft woods like pine don't last nearly
as long.
Sorry Randy, my data on Green Trees was incorrect. Sounds like they do
hold fish. Data was passed on to me, and I had passed it on to you
without doing extensive research to disprove it otherwise.
I don't mind being wrong as long as I can learn from it. Thanks Ronnie,
Chris
