    Christmas trees aren't the ideal structure in my opinion. They do last but it is very hard to fish them without snagging. I'm also with DD on this one, Barnett has more structure than water.

    Send me locations. Lol.
    I put some in there last year. I’m searching for some now. If you want, we can go put them out together and dirty up one boat.

    That sounds great to me. I don’t mind sharing my little honey holes. Okatibee got so many fish you can’t catch em all. Lol. I hate cleaning all those needles up out the boat

    Parking lot full at the Agricenter in Memphis that didn't sell. Just stacked up. I doubt anyone's feelings would get hurt if anyone took some.

    They make good habitat for lakes that go through dramatic draw downs and have little natural structure left. A hundred or two Christmas trees could save a lot of young crappie's (fry) lives from larger predators. Makes great hiding spots for the newly hatched.

    A cheap plastic tarp will help cut down on needle mess in boat.

    I completely agree with you on that aspect. Great place for fry to hide on the Corp lakes. Barnett however does not go thru a drawdown and has more structure than carter got pills. Most folks put them out thinking they will fish on them. It’s Very frustrating to jig a Christmas tree, I would much rather fish a larger cedar or oak top with big limbs.
