    Alfalfa works great. But it takes a tremendous amount of weight to get a whole bale to sink. The alfalfa cubes in the onion sacks is the way to go.

    Man I am learning some tricks in this crappie structure piece of crappie.com. This is my first visit over here. I need to try some of this stuff as I am having some trees and stuff cut out of the yard now.

    ...just sit back and query the archives. Jerry did an outstanding piece on crappie condos that is a 'must read.' He also authored an article about how to get the most from your fish finder.

    How about rabbit food then? It has a high alfalfa content and comes in small pellets. I would think a bunch of those in a burlap sack would work too. Make up a bunch of sacks and go around dropping them at various structure points.

    Ragfly,

    I get my alfalfa cubes at a hardware/feed store. About 10 bucks for fifty pound bag.
