Don't worry it'll get better. Sure can't get much worse!

Well that's no good, how deep is your condo. Those smaller fish tend to stage up about 5 foot shallower than the bigger ones this time of year. You won't catch as many but you'll be able to take em home.

do you have to have a permit to drop structure on corps of engineer lakes? i have some trees out at richland chambers that i dropped but have not dropped any yet in a corps lake like navarro mills. just wantin to make sure i dont get stopped by a game warden or anything.

I went to the corps of engineers at Navarro Mills to ask that question...
I was told they did not want any close to the gates because they could get hung up and the gates could not close.... also they wanted enough weight to sink the good....
That is all.... "NO PERMIT" needed........
My stick condos are producing much much better than my brush piles.....

As far as Richland Chambers I have never heard of having to get a permit to sink brush on that lake........
I have many christmas trees in that lake and have caught lots of crappie off them....
I think I am doing the crappie a favor... I furnish em shelter and I have them for supper.... Kinda of a give and take....

Thank ya sir, you've been a big help. I think ill take some trees out to bardwell. The only structure on that lake is the bridge, no trees. Its kinda like a big sand pit, but its only 10 minutes from the house. I live in ennis and richland and navarro are too far for after work trips. 12 hour days. Can't wait til I can retire. Thanks again. Tear em up
