Building structure

Abandoned Xmas trees work extremely well here in Michigan.

I launched this morning to the site of 2 fisherman gently lowering
cinderblocks out into open water. They must have had about 30 of them on
the jon boat as it looked like it was gonna sink. I fished nearby watching
as the continued to drop these blocks down. I figured they were building
some structure to fish later on some time. When they left I motored over
and marked it on my GPS. I'll see how it does whn I go back out.

Question:

If given the oppurtunity how would you go about adding some structure to
a lake. This particular lake has a very featureless bottom, barely any
stumps or sticks, average depth is between 8-12 feet and it's loaded with
weeds.

What materials would you use to construct it, how big would it be and in
what shape? Anything that promotes fish growth and doesn't hurt the lake
is permissable. Idea's? suggestions?

From my direct experience Xmas trees dont last more than a few years down
there, they catch lures like a magnet, and frankly they lack the sparseness
of a good hardwood brushpile that lets the bass actually get "inside" &
"under" it. After two seasons the Xmas trees I used to plant were falling
apart & virtually worthless as fish attractors.
