I'm still a rookie Crappie fisherman and need to build some structure. We get a lot of Driftwood washed ashore and thought that might work well. I'd like to see some ideas.

I don't have pictures, but I will try to explain. I build them cheap and simply, but they are highly effective. I use Willow trees that you can find near water. In ditches, near ponds, etc. I put the base into the hole of a cinder block and wire it in. I use stainless steel wire for this. I wire a plastic bottle to the top for a float. This helps the structure stay upright. Then sink it where I think it will do the most good.

I like this idea simple and from looks of your graph effective. Are you taking about weeping willow?

No. They are just a wild water willow. They grow wild in just about any low lying area where it stays moist. Look along road sides near ditches, and culverts. Look near pond edges. Once you see one, you will then begin to notice them everywhere. They have long thin branches like a weeping willow but dont drop to the ground like an umbrella.

These aren't very good pictures, but I just took them off of the side of the road to give you an idea of what they look like. You can also just use a couple of limbs off of the big ones if needed. I don't put very many out due to my lakes already having a lot of structure and I don't want to scatter the crappie any more than they already are. But if I find a place that is begging for it, I'll place one in a heartbeat. Btw, I keep my coordinates a secret in hopes of luring the mighty SK to East Texas and go fishing with me. Lol

See quite a few around here. Time to trim a couple back I think.

Bamboo also works well. We have a lot around here. It also does not need a float because it is hollow so automatically stays up. Fit it in a concrete block and fill with sackcrete.

I've heard same thing about bamboo, and I'm sure it's around here too just need to find it.
