    Default Structure


    Hello All,

    I get confused a lot when I read Post on here, Facebook in different groups about structure. I see people talking about they where catching them in the tops of trees but then later that day they say the were catching them in Timber. What is the difference in the two? Thank you for your help in advanced.

    Do a google search on Elwood "Buck" Perry and Spoonplugging. Buck was/is the father of structure fishing and how it relates to our sport. To capsulize, structure has to do with changes in bottom depth/contours. A brush pile is NOT structure. It is a "break" on structure. But he goes into it in much greater detail. You'll definitely benefit from reading his books.

    There is a difference in the meaning of "structure" & "cover" pertaining to fishing .... but, many people still use "structure" to identify cover.

    Tree tops - timber - brushpiles - blowdowns/deadfalls - standing timber - wood .... are all used to describe "trees" that are wholly or partially submerged. But, to the "difference" in those statements you read .... it is possible that "tops of trees" was referring to the upper portion of a blowdown/deadfall (aka - the top of the fallen tree, which is usually in the deeper water) and "timber" was referring to standing trees.

    Don't let yourself be confused or timid when such differences are stated by the members of Crappie.com ..... reply to their posts with a question about those differences & ask for clarification.

    I like to just call it all fish habitat. Fish habitat "Build it and they will come". The fish will thank you and you will thank yourself when you know where to go to catch a few also know as a "honey hole".

    Check this forum out.
