Please forgive my ignorance but I just found this site a few weeks ago. I was making the cane condos long before I read about them here, but I am reading about people using mats in shallow water and I am curious. What do they look like and how do you make one? I have some shallow water spots that really attract crappie, but I would like to have a few structures in that area of the lake that all the other crappie fishermen don't know about. The exposed brush tops get hit hard.

Look about halfway down the page for info on mats.
