I am new at the brushing. During march we put out 3 big cedars in 25 ft of water on the bank of the river which is 35 ft. IT is always good for two or three fish, thats it. Last weekend we put a sweetgum with them and we are picking up a few more. We have one big cypress top sunk near a huge stump in 20 ft of water and its good for six or eight fish per trip. Our other brush piles are made up of willows and sweetgum, but are only good for two or three fish. I guess my brush just hasnt been out long enough. How long does it take and what kind of brush works for you? I am in the Shirley Creek area of Sam Rayburn. Thanks for any info.
