Plus if the tree's are somewhat drying out, they take more weight to sink, but the bouyancy will keep them upright when sinking. This year we started cutting out limbs on the tree's ,leaving open spots which seem to attract the crappie a little more . They look cool on the SI too.

I was lazy on the last round of trees and didn't thin out the branches. While I can't say 100% it makes a difference, I'm sure it does. The trees we cut out branches from hold a lot of fish. Takes a little extra time but is definitely worth it in the end.

These trees I put out Just the beginning of May , can't wait to see how this will work, I have a lot of Crappies but no structure.

So those are sitting on the ice right now? Thats awesome, so much easier to put in place than using a boat. I'm loving it.

Yes they are on the Ice , about ten days later they went through.

Hit the jackpot on an old bamboo pile today. Hadn't caught a fish on it since I put it in, them this. All in about 20 mins
