Crappie/Bass brush pile placement advice needed
I have about 20 or 25 Xmas trees that I plan on putting out in my local lake this week. Not sure on depth, pattern, or proper/best way to sink them. My plan so far is to get some 20-40lb chunks of busted up slab that I have access to and use some stainless wire to cradle the chunk of concrete and attach it to the bottom side of the xmas tree using a stainless eye bolt that I will screw in the base. Not really sure on what depth I should sink them or what pattern I should use. Should I go in 3 or 4 rows of say 3 or 4 trees in each row or should I maybe attempt to make a circle about 20 in diameter? Also I have heard it makes a difference whether you lay the trees down and sink them so they lay on their side as oppose to trying to sink them standing straight up. Any info greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
