You've got to be smart when your putting brush out EB

Got that right lol

Good message for those not familiar with the Corp and would like to put out brush

Well when you have help putting brush out by Wildlife and corps guys I dont think its that big of a deal. But we don't get trees from someones backyard either. EB

There is more than one way to skin a cat. Different locations require different techniques. Bottom line is something that will acttract crappie. Location is probably at least as important as what you use to make it with. And there are lots of different ideas on where to put brushpiles.
On Cedar Cree Lake in E Tx, I tried to put my brushpiles in 20' of water. That means if the lake was 5' low, I'd put it at 15' according to my depth finder. So, when the lake was full, I'd be at 20' to the bottom of the pile. Since the pile typically was at least 5' tall, I would have 15' to the top of the pile when at full pool. A pretty good depth or late spring and most of the summer.
Would also try to find the top of a drop off or close to it.
And, always dropped most for protection from southerly winds with few protecting from northerly winds. This way you could usually find one with some wind protection.
Just a lot of things to consider when putting out brush.

Each fall the Oologah Corps puts on a brushpile day. It rotates for Spencer Creek, Blue Creek and Hawthorne. The Corps supply the boats, chainsaws, gas and even feed you along with giving away door prizes. It's a really good thing for the habitat on Oologah. It's kinda like that movie Purge, but you get to cut any tree on Corp property to be put into the lake for brush.

Wow cutting trees on Corp land? Just takes one tree hugger to start all kinds of trouble for that

We didn't cut anything on Corp land, just used what had already fallen.

Wow, that would be great. Wish they would do that on all of our lakes.
