Thread: Holly bush for cover

Anybody ever sank holly bushes for cover? We put out a bunch yesterday in some coves in 8-13" of water for the spring bite. They really looked good.

went to one of my spots last nite and found out that the state had cut sweetgum trees off the riprap and tossed a few in the water! have to check during the day to see if anymore are floating! don't think sweetgum should be used with all the notches and stuff on the limbs!

Let me know where you put them and i'll go test it out for you.

I would think they would work great!

Structure is Structure is Structure..... "Build it and they will come"....
End of story...............

did they have the leaves on them? i dont know if they would get around them or not being they are very prickly.but i could be wrong a cedar tree is also sticky hugh

i put out a couple in the fall that were dead in a pot i got at a nursery and we caught fish on them in a couple of weeks

Like Texan said, put it in and they will come!

one of my best spots was a big holly tree. it lasted about ten years. I need to put some more in its place now. I miss my old holly tree.

Might go back next week and put out some more. Be a good time I reckon... lakes to messed up for anyone to be out there looking.
