Sunk some brush this a.m.

We always called them Bois D'arc trees when I was a kid.

horse apple trees , proliferated by native americans , best wood for a bow they say .
osage orange in the actual name , they are all over texas and originated from Oklahoma I think is what I heard .
it is hard as rocks though and if you find one in a lake it will likely be a crappie hangout in Texas .
I would say you should put your limbs right in the concrete instead of holders as it might get pulled out by a braid fisherman .
and if it were me I would make the spot you are working look like a hedge row along that drop off or a real large pile like a complex .

Yes sir that’s what I know em as. Horse apple trees, I’ve seen a few around my area but all on private property that I don’t have permission to cut.
The only reason I didn’t put them straight in the concrete was to make it easier to transport, they are attached with stainless screws through the pvc into the limbs so hopefully they won’t pull out.
I like the hedge row idea! If these hold some fish I’m definitely going to use that!

these here things will give you more alone time on the water soon to drop brush I bet .
I wont be on the water near as much as I want to after seeing a big ten right before rifle season myself .
or at least until he hits my freezer anyway

Haha took me a minute to see him peeking out from the woods. Looks like a good one.

Those brushpiles will hold Crappie. Wise to concentrate on the cleared area of the lake. Crappie follow the Shad, they are always look for a new temporary Home.

I prefer bamboo also but it all will work.

Which part of Texas are you from?

I’m down in south Texas, Victoria area..
seems like most here prefer bamboo, guess I’m going on a hunt for a bamboo patch!

I actually planted some boo on my property line about 3-4 years ago, I cut a piece from a patch I found while vacationing and planted it. I must’ve gotten the slowest growing bamboo know to man. Lol. I planted 1 piece, now there’s about 6-7 pieces growing but the biggest one is about 3 foot tall and big around as a pencil

someone somewhere has a stand of boo they would love you to thin out .
boo is strange stuff though , when its leaved up lots of small fish will be all over it .
when the leaves go away a few better fish with hang around it sometimes .
but in the end real large crappie seem to prefer more substance as cover and want heavier limbed cover in my experience .
hardwoods of larger diameters if you want to find a dream fish , smaller diameters if you want to load the boat is my thoughts .
