We went out to drop brush piles to hopefully help our crappie fishing in the future. I figure that if we take a tree with us every time we go out, we should have a lot of options in a couple years.
Lessons learned:
Get everything ready ahead of time. Assembling everything on the water takes time.
Don't attach the rock directly to the tree. Have a couple feet of wire connecting them so you can put the tree in the water, then the rock.
Transport the pile in the boat. We tried dragging one with a top speed of about .6 mph.
Fresh wood sinks way easier than seasoned wood. We had to pop the bottle on the dry wood to get it to sink. I think that one will eventually soak up water and lay on it's side.

| Free material from the recycle center means we don't have to buy anything or cut live trees. |
 |
| Cedar, rock, and bottle. Compliments of the citizens of Rogers. I had the wire already for the garden. The idea is to have the rock on the bottom and the bottle on the top so it will stand up. |
 |
| It took us a couple trips. |
 |
| It was kinda scary leaning over the boat in 43 degree water with all that weight. |
