Thread: Brush Piles

too much if it sticks out of the water and others can find it

Thanks for the reply keeferfish.

Better to build lots of small brush piles . One big one usually becomes a community fishing hole very quickly .

Thanks Nimrod,

I guess it's like everything else. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Great Idea.

When I put them out I refresh them every now and than since they will rot. It they don't produce they are left to rot away.
I like to put them in groups of 2 where I can anchor the boat and fish out both sides at once. I also place them where the wind doesn't become a problem. I never make them bigger than half the size of the boat. Unless someone is really looking hard they will motor right over them with out stopping.

i am getting ready to start putting out a few buckets with 5/6 stakes per bucket. how many do you suggest per "small pile"?

How tall are the stakes, how deep will they be dropped?

I put about 8 to 10 stakes per 1/2 five gallon bucket with enough concrete to sink . I place 6 to 12 per spot .
