Sinking treetops

[Danny Lang]

At what depths do u fellows sink treetops for summertime crappie? Especially for southern lakes that water temps will reach 90 degrees? Thanks

check where the thermocline develops and make sure the brush is above it. Generally bottom of the thermocline seems to hold the most fish when it gets hot.

Nothing over 15 to 20 foot here. 10 to 15 seems to be the sweet spot.

I like to put them in the 20 to 25 feet depth range. Right now the ones in 25 to 27 that l fish are holding crappie.
Once you get brush piles that hold fish it pays to add more brush on top of what’s already there to freshen it up.

I don't use tree tops. I use bamboo. It outlasts trees by 3 to 4 times. The small limbs don't disintegrate like that of a tree so you don't have to keep sinking more ever couple years like you do trees. And you'll find you don't hang up nearly as bad on the bamboo as you do tree tops. You'll still snag them but the hook falls off much easier that that of trees.

Bamboo is me as well and in around 10 to 20 fow ,depending on several factors and what lake it is , we have all the different kinds here , some pretty deep , some really shallow , some kinda clear and some look like mud water .
summer fish on a northern shoreline where bait gets pushed by the wind in spots known to produce well before we set cover.
flats are good choices in some spots and drop offs in others, not knowing your exact situation makes it a toss of the dice from way over here on where to drop it and how deep.
