Use the biggest sweetgums you can put. They las years draw bait faster. Just dont sink any with the balls on them. Which most juvi trees wont have. I am sure you have sweetgums. The blue gill love em and will stack all in em. I have a family pond in bama and dropped some sweetgums in even just cut a few and let em lay off the edge of the bank and the fish are all in em.

For bulk we put in willows. The willows seem to degrade so we add more throughout the summer. Sweetgums are the viaga of brushpiles. When we go back each spring to start brushing again, the sweetgums still are standing up and give us a reference to start dumping.

Find a factory that is willing to get rid of a few broken pallets. Stack them up and tie them 2-4 feet high and use your bricks to weigh them down. Simple, cheap and fun.

DO NOT put old cars, anything else metal and pallets in your pond. The metal objects will cut your line and the pallets, while they make good structure, are hades to work a worm or jig through without hanging up. Cedar, Sweet gum and Bois D Arc make the best piles.

Not to mention the potential chemical risks to the water.
