help with structure location
Hi guys. I will try to keep this as short as possible. I live near a 6 acre sand pit that is decades old. From what I can find and what old timers tell me there is really only one main tree pile in this lake and it is in 12-18ft of water. The deepest the lake gets is about 23ft. This tree pile is very handy for me to just put the jon boat in, paddle out about 15 yards and fish it, or cast from the bank. The crappie hold up in this pile in the spring and fall but cannot find them here in the summer or winter for some reason. My main question is, I am planning on building my own structure piles from pvc, etc to drop down. Would you recommend putting my piles in a different spot so that nobody knows where they are or to add to the already pile since the fish are already used to coming there? This lake is semi private in that one side of the lake cannot be fished from the bank by the public but they can access this pile by boat. Not many people currently fish the lake in a boat. The main kicker is myself and two other guys are planning on restocking the lake this fall so i want to provide the best habitat I can beforehand. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
