Aight guys, the fisheries department from New Hampshire finally got back to me, and it is legal to put christmas trees, brush piles, logs, ect., into the water I fish. All I need to do first is obtain a $200 Standard Dredge and Fill permit.  : What kind of structures do you guys make for certain areas?And is it worth it to spend $200? Curious to see everyone's thoughts.

Christmas tree are not structure they are COVER

Christmas trees don't make good bass habitat atleast from my experience. Just try some brush like tree limbs. Make sure you weight it down good especially if there is any current envolved.

Get some PVC, and some 5 gallon buckets, a few bags of concrete and you have a piece of cover that is hard to snag.  I have just made limbs from the pvc and used he buckets to hold the concrete and place the pvc in.  Fairly easy and cheap unless you are doing 36 of them

This seems like a winner and should just get better over time.

Since I haven't made 10 posts yet I can't actually post the link but if you search "man made structures" you'll find a thread with some really nice bass boxes.

I will take a picture once I get some better weather and can pour more concrete without it freezing up.  I have made a few different variations of structures, spheres, trees, and porcupines as I call them.  They should draw fish as most of the waters I fish are big mud bottom bowls.  Also been taking some scrap rock, brick and making some rock piles/humps.

Not worth $200 to me unless there was a tourney there and I was the only one who new about it

chasescott has a thread on this--next page

what a coinsidence lol.....i sunk a huge cedar tree today. I love to sink cover and fish attractors. I've probably done over 50 lol. Everything from the pvc, making wooden fish boxes, rock piles, and everything you can think of, but what ive found to be the most productive is lots of cedars/hardwoods bundled up together...and i mean lots of them. You should try some different things with this. ;D ;D ;D

How would you do a rockpile jjbassjj ? Are they any tecniques you use when making them?

As said on this forum or maybe in one of the books I read on cover, when using trees make sure to cut some of the branches to make a place for the large bass to hold.

Otherwise, only the smaller bass will use the cover.

Please "search" this fourm for "cover" or "trees" to find the previous posts on this topic.

Yes, Dean

what i've done is fill a garbage can with an assortment of big rocks and find your spot and dump the rocks from the garbage can in the water...I'm sure there are other ways but this is what ive done and it gets the job done
