Wow that's a pig!! Glad you got on the water!!
Ran up to the lake this evening to see what our new brush piles might be holding. Well first off 3 of 4 piles put out are gone. I am pretty sure someone has been moving them on us. It's not a matter of not enough weight. I add about 150 lbs to each tree to make sure they stay put. The only one still in place produced nothing. Decided not to waste the trip, so we hit some piles that we put out about 4 yrs ago. On the water at 330 off by 6. Not a massive catch but did boat 11 and lost a few more. Had one big girl as well. 10-15 fow, cast and drag, white/chart and pumpkin/chart were the baits.

Nice Fish! .... jigging
I'm curious how one would move a brushpile with that kind of weight on it? Sounds like a recipe for a good soaking wet hernia unless you were to latch onto it with a boat? People will steal anything...
I'm not sure how they may go about moving them, but keep in mind once an object is in the water it becomes a little buoyant and doesn't feel as heavy. This is not the first time this has happened to me. Just gets frustrating in the work I put out in trying to establish some fishing areas and someone else comes along and moves them. I scanned the area with side scan and they are nowhere to be found. Now granted the lake is low and I put these piles in 10 fow so they would be around 15-18 fow at normal lake level. Part of the problem is they were sticking out of the water about 3-4' when set. Yes that makes for easy access and picking, but hey it's all for the good of everyone. If you don't like where I put them then come out with me and we'll go set some where you want them and that way we can both get a good workout and not just me. Ok off the soap box.
I think I need to get Redge to come down to that end of the lake and help me locate them. Humminbird side scan is a lot clearer than the Lowrance in my book. It may be I'm just not seeing them with mine. I just know they are not where I have them marked on my graph.

Lake deep enough that all launchs should be in the water now?
I guess I haven't forgot how to catch some fish on my home lake.
My uncle requested the catfish.

I'm going down on the 20th for a week or two. Need to relax and get some strength back now that I'm over this crud. Missed everyone at crappie camp. I haven't had my boat on the water at 10Killer since Oct. Maybe if you are free one day you are down there you could take me out and show me how to do it. Not interested in your honey holes but I do need to learn the technique for a deep clear water lake.
