I'm putting out some new piles. I have always used oak and christmas trees in the past. I was thinking of trying some cedar and was wondering what experiences all of
Y'all have had using this type of tree.
Thanks in advance.

Ernest patty uses cedar....I asked why and he said they last, and beavers don't eat them....willows in deep open water.

Oh and they are easier to sink as well...easier than Christmas trees he said.

Cedars will work. I like dogwood trees. They have alot more space in them for the crappie to move around in it.

Have you done any good off your new Christmas trees? I appreciate the 7 you passed on to me. Caught 20 last Friday night on em and 40 Saturday morning.

Used LOTS of cedar over the years with LOTS of success. Takes a couple months for the foliage to rot off, but after that...it's on!

Too busy to try them since I sank them.....but tomorrow I'm off! Gonna take a nap and hit them in the morning! What depth did you sink yours?

Added them to piles in 20-30ft.

its the bluegill that you want inside the brush
the crappie were coming up an watching them like me in a buffet line

i always catch the bigger fish 5 to 10ft away from the pile
i saw some great footage on hook&look tv
iam going to shoot a bunch of piles thi year if i ca set up a good box for it
