I have seen many post on Chairs lately. If you had to choose one as hanging structure. Which one would you use?

Whichever is easiest to come by and/or easier to sink. How about a combination of both?

the reason I asked. Is do you get hung up more on one than the other? I have both on my slip and I have people that is saying that they are getting hung wayyyyyy to much on the chairs. I expect to lose some anyway. But I want to maximize the space available.

If it were me, I would just stick to brush.

I haven't tried the chair deal, but I have better luck with brush, including pvc and Mossback fish racks. Not saying that they don't work, for me they don't work as well. I have all three in a boat house and day in and day out the brush produces more fish. And the Mossbacks are actually in a better area, more shade.

Do it like a drug deal. If anyone catches sight of you in the act, you're gonna need to eliminate that person.

pros and cons to both. put ctrees in 7to 9 ft under my dock.in a short time caught fish .go better as they aged,for about 2 years.they began to drop all small limbs and before long only a trunk. I replaced them with chairs,about 3 yrs. ago. maybe a little slower to produce but I do catch fish on them, and they should last forever.Bass men and dock shooters don't rip
them up.Maybe a mix of both is best

I got a hold of two dozen plastic booster seats that a church was throwing away. I plan on screwing them upside down to PVC posts to make plastic "trees" and sinking them among other Xmas trees and brush tops...hoping the brush will bring them in initially, and they'll stick around with the plastic structures long after the natural has decomposed and gone. Fingers crossed.

Cover is cover. We have mostly chairs in our slips, but have some trees in the middle of the one's we rent. Both catch fish, but like some have said, artificial cover lasts longer.

You can't go wrong with either IMHO. As long as there's structure that allows moss to grow and attracts bait-fish first, the crappie will come. food
