COVERT OPERATION!!!

My buddy Kelly and I worked our arses off all day Saturday! 
Re-brushed 4-5 old piles, and created a dozen brand new ones!
No fishin whatsoever, just a chainsaw, 20 or so blocks, some stainless steel wire, marker bouys, our GPSs(of course), and a bunch of elbow grease!
Funny thing is...it felt just as good as catching two limts, when I made a final pass over all those piles checking the coordinates and seeing how good they looked. I would have sworn I saw a couple of 3 pounders on my graph already! 
The good lord blessed us with a beautiful day, and not a single spy...I mean boat...came by while we were dropping our piles. Only way the day could have been better, would be if we were already fishin. 
Man, I can't wait to fish 'em this summer!!!

If it isn't legal and he's caught, I hope he has a jury full of cedar fear sufferers. They would acquit him! :-) God bless cedar choppers. The only good cedar is a dead cedar (on the bottom of the lake).

I would be willing to check out the legality of all this if you will send me the GPS coordinates. Purely for informational purposes only ;-)

I hear ya. This is the best time of year to drop Brush Piles. My brother and I have been putting Brush Piles out for about a month. We are using Baboo and a few tube structures. We have put out 16 of these Boo Buckets, and have 12 more waiting for a calm day to get on the lake.  We have also put out 5 of these with 5 more waiting on a calm day.  Looks like Sunday may be the day.  keith

Hmmm is that legal to do, pretty sure not on a corp lake, not sure about river authority lakes. My CORP lake encourages it. See for yourself. http://www.swf-wc.usace.army.mil/granger/Recreation/Fishing.aspNice piles BTW Slab.

Might as well build and sink condos, the lakes look like chocolate milk anyway. It's great to have the water though.

I was more refering to going to the bank and cutting the trees down, but do agree the only good cedar is a dead one.

To answer a few questions:
We had permission to cut the trees.
We used cinder blocks for weight.
This lake is only 10-12' deep max, so most piles were dropped in 8-9' water.
