Stumps and rocks are the only structure I've fished over really. In our lake there are a couple buckets with boards sticking out of them, but they are high and dry now. They are draining our lakes during the spawn!!!
What is your favorite structrue? Bamboo , Trees, PVC, Wood Stakebed ,or other. I favor Cedar or Oak Stakebeds. Next would be Persimmon Trees for brushpiles. They both hold fish but the stakebeds are easier to fish without hanging up.I've tried Bamboo with mixed results and PVC did'nt work for me.

I have a jig with a face like this!:eek:
We have a lot in common nimrod,stake beds and large cedar with the smaller limbs removed are hands down my best producers.

I have to go with 'boo, since I just put one subsidized housing development out this week and have gotten fish off it already! Before this week, I'd have gone with brush.
What makes a better lightning rod than a graphite fishing rod? NOTHING!
I picked "brush/trees" because that's closest to stumps/logs.
Weed edges and dropoffs are the other spots I have lots of luck with. I'm not sure, but I don't know anyone around here that actually places structure (not even sure if it's legal in NY) - no condo's to be found in our neck of the woods.
I went with brush/trees. We drop Christmas trees in our favorite holes.
I have had good luck with bamboo tops for 20 years. Recently I have begun experimenting with pvc because it will last forever. I put out some pvc tops 30 days ago and have already caught about a dozen 12" fish off of them.
