Yea the cedar tree is good because it don't rot in water.

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

Christmas trees are horrible crappie beds now if u trim them up a good bit there ok best thing is a bucket with 6 to8 hard wood limbs sticking up 6 to 8 ft kinda like stake beds I've had my best luck holding big crappie

[@thefishing_twindad]

How much weight do u usually hold it down with ?

[@slabbusterrtr7690]

@@thefishing_twindad fill the bucket with quick Crete

[@scotthenderson4376]

Just cut out some branches and thin out the Christmas tree (think full charlie brown tree). Take the thinned branches and stick them in a hole drilled piece of PVC

[@johnrolloffdumpsters]

Lmao bro you have no fking clue 😂 I got several Xmas trees standing up loaded with slabs I got 100 Xmas trees this year going out.

[@TurnerFishingg]

Alot of work that doesn't last long by all means go for it :) ill spend time fishing other ones I run across

[@johnrolloffdumpsters]

Last for years if done right especially when you do new ones every year along with fiber optic conduit buckets. My freezer is full of quart bags from last year. Stand en up in buckets half full of concrete.

[@youngrichter3988]

I can remember when I was a kid my great uncle put out his old Christmas tree once a year off the end of his dock, usually when the ice was frozen he would drag it out there and it could melt through. It was always Dwiddled down to 1/4 of its size by the next Christmas entire area was sandy but where the trees were placed it was dark and musky bottom. Rocks stacked up like a cichlid tank was better imo

[@keithwalker5078]

xmas trees and cedars are awful and ineffective IMO. hardwood branches are much better.

[@blacksmokematters4521]

Actually crappie will lay eggs on cedars

[@d8alot]

I trim my Christmas tree so that it has pockets as if I used an ice cream scoop on it

[@KidKrappie]

Willows or bamboo for me all day longer over Christmas trees

[@TurnerFishingg]

Yeah I love a good cane pile hard to get around me need to find someone that has a good patch

[@johnsites5105]

I love sweet gum, canes and PVC pipes. The PVC you can cut small gum trees and anchor into Three pvc pipes in a triangle and that makes a dang pretty pile..

[@TurnerFishingg]

Agreed I love your piles haha

[@lesyoung9294]

How do you place these in an area? A wad tied together or say 3 or 4 in a 20 foot circle or what? Thanks

[@TurnerFishingg]

Drill a hole in the bottom of the tree and wire about 4 together only at the bottom then tie bottles to the tops to float them up (near the top don't make it so you get hung) then wire the bottom to a block and let it drop

[@lynnduff8633]

By bottles you mean empty small or large pop bottles I’m assuming? Never have heard that before! Thanks for your video!

[@TurnerFishingg]

Yes depending on the size of the tree but make them so you don't get hung up on em

[@fuzzyfultz]

Very good observation Sir. Thanks fir sharing. You are the man.

[@slabslayer258]

Our fish sit grouped up on slick standing stumps with no limbs so it isn’t always about cover . They do use brush piles but for last 6 months small fish only have been in brush piles . So I haven’t fished any I have fished only submerged stumps . So I’m in the works of sinking some cypress stumps with root balls on them except I’m going to sink them upside down with rootball standing up and trial run that

[@TurnerFishingg]

Should work if you have access to them. I know down on santee they love them root balls

[@josephauld6565]

Crepe myrtle trees are good brush piles

[@gaylehodnett4057]

Thank you from this newbie!!!! Learned how the make it right!!!

[@TurnerFishingg]

Welcome Gayle!

[@youngin881]

Spot on about pine trees…I always drive on by those blowdowns. Ever tried using canes in 5 gal bucket? Those seem to work great and easy to pull a jig free from.

[@albrown5738]

How many blocks do use to sink a perfect tree.

[@TurnerFishingg]

Depends on size of tree i like to make squares so 1 block per tree. I drill a hole in the bottom and tie it with wire then put big bottles near the top so it stands up right

[@thefishing_twindad]

@@TurnerFishingg do u mind posting a video or a picture ?

[@PeggyParrow]

I use cedar trees which have more room between the limbs, dead ones with dry branches preferably. They grow wild here in missouri. ! I agree with you . Hope this helps .

[@keithwalker5078]

on my home lake our anglers club has a 100 to 150 xmas trees out annually and almost none of the piles we put out ever have fish on them. put pile next to slip on my pontoon 4 years ago and have not caught a legal fish off of it yet. just a handful of smaller panfish. but when I put one lone oak branch next to dock? next day caught half dozen keeper crappie

[@Gstar5150]

What if you stripped the Christmas tree of its fibers and put it down then the limbs would be separated enough for Crappie to hide.

[@jason6325]

There not "crappy" they are "crappie" pernounced "crop-ee" lol Atleast that's how we say it in the south. I agree with a mixture of different brush piles. They defintly prefer different species of Brush

I have my best luck with holly trees in NC.

[@TurnerFishingg]

Nice I love a sweet gum but ill sink about anything haha

[@johnsites5105]

Holly is good but needs a lot of trimming.

[@larrywright1315]

I like Holly trees that grow wild in the forest. The limbs are not thick at all. I caught over 60 fish off one holly tree 3 weeks after I sank it.

[@flatpicker75]

@@larrywright1315 Exactly what I meant in my original post. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@kev5162]

Turn the Christmas trees upside down braced with 2x4s then they have the shade and ambush points all around, you could also get more height out of it depending on your 2x4 length.

[@slabslayer258]

Christmas trees do may crappy brush piles I never use them

[@ppdrawings]

Nice video and information. I've been preparing to drop brush piles but I was about to have em' laying down, instead of standing up!! This was right on time!

[@glennmartin8949]

Can you tell me when is the best time to put out brush piles? Thanks!!

[@TurnerFishingg]

We normally do it this time of the year but its hard to hide anything anymore but if you can find a sneaky spot

[@glennmartin8949]

@@TurnerFishingg Do you think it would be possible to lay brush piles w a kayak?

[@TurnerFishingg]

Small ones yeah or bring a saw and grab some off the bank
