Ok my ? is what would be the best things to sink in the ol lake to draw and catch fish?  I've tried a few things but not had any great success with anything.  Here's what I've tried:  cedars for crappie but too much to hang up on for bass cover.  Pallets are big and bulky, hard to sink sometimes and it takes several of them to make a differance.  Rocks I like but really hard work, need several of them, mess your boat carpet up.  Buckets of cement with pvc sticking up are supposed to draw crappie but I tried that and never caught a fish off them.  I'm mainly looking for something to bass fish around.  Any ideas?  If I had my river barge I could always take half the forest out there 8-)

If you just want to fish structure you dont have to sink anything. The structure is already there. If you want to add cover on some structure I would suggest buckets of concrete with hard wood limbs (with most of the littler twigs removed) sticking out of it. Hard woods will last the longest.

old toilets.

Old toilets! Is that with or without the logs!!  Good one.  

I just have/know some banks on local lakes that are nearly bare.  I've caught fish on them before but only where you find the structure.... just thought if there was more underneath i'd have more fishing opportunities, and probably to myself.
