    Guys I've been sinking trees for years and cedar along with leland cypress seem to work best. After Christmas you can load your trailer or trailers with used trees, stay away from the pine varieties though, never had any luck catching around them. If making habitat in the summer can't beat bamboo.

    Maybe because the branches are so thick but crappie seem to get around them more quickly than some other wood that gets put in.

    I have found if you leave the small limbs and green on the cedars it will attract a lot of small fish for the first several years but if you remove that stuff down to 1" diameter or so and about 2' on all sides you will have a honeyhole if its in the right spot for years to come.
