I never sink any deeper than 20' and most under 10' . Half the depth is a good figure .
Been on the forum a while, I always read and never post. I've been crappie fishing most of my life, but I'm just now getting into sinking my own brush and would love some advice. Love the site!
I never sink any deeper than 20' and most under 10' . Half the depth is a good figure .
My lake 25-30 deepest, 5-8 in height.
Most piles right at 20 - 15, half the water column if I can.
Smaller piles less people notice!!

Thanks for the feedback. I've read some stuff on it on the forum. Gonna give it a try this week. I'll let ya'll know how it goes!
I try to do around half the depth and typically try to set them in 15 to 20 fow
some taller though and I have been known to drop 12 foot tall ones in 10 fow ….

Just remember what level the lake is at now vs when you plan on fishing. And adjust as needed.
We have a few very large live oaks in our yard very close to the house.
So we needed to trim them back which created large piles of branches, some very large in size.
So i would assume that i could just tie on some type of a weight and toss them over?
sometimes big oaks and such are very difficult to sink , they often require a lot of weight
the smaller stuff wont be a problem ,but the big boys might not want to go down .
one thing for certain if you can get them down they last a long time and attract crappie real well .

Really doesn't take a lot of brush to attract lots of crappie IF you put it in right spot. One of best I did was just a oak limb with bunch of branches on and tossed it off dock we used to have and it was ALWAYS dependable to ketch a few off of every morning and then at night. Get some blocks and experiment for YOUR lake and depths, more the better and bunch won't work well and others will be loaded and you will figure out which is best.
its crazy sometimes how a pile right by another pile wont hold much and the next one is always full .
not sure why that's the case but I have seen that quite often myself
