I used to do that on Somerville. Worked great. All the lakes I fish now are solid rock.

If you'll put them in Williams Creek @ Fork, I'll help you!! I hope he does, finally get that sink hole filled, HUH Harold..... Seriously, I have over 100 Windsor stones, their about 10-15 lbs ea. Old flower bed liner's, I'm also interested in the replies here. I was thinking 6-9 foot on a channel swing with timber not far from my dock.. Never dropped rocks before either. I can think of a couple great spots in Glade!! The culvert and the pond!

It takes A LOT of rocks to be successful. 5-10' if there is an isolated tree on a point or flat that normally produces fish. I like a spot that already holds bass. It is likely to hold more fish mixing 2 types of cover. A whole lot unless they are giant boulders. And even little ones are a ton of work if you sink enough of them. Better thing to do is get s mason bit drill a hole in them and tie a tree to each one and make a brush pile! But if you do sink them I would find an old broke down wood dock and sink them around the outer pilings.

There's a dock up in running creek on Fork that fits the bill. Added benefit, it has timber and tons of grass nearby. Already a good spot!

There were some piles from where cement trucks cleaned up that I would grab 10-12 in the mornings when I went out and when I got thru fishing I would pile them in one spot. Took about 10 trips before even seeing bumps on the depth finder, it takes a LOT of rocks. I had some flagstone pieces that when I put them in they would go every which direction so doubt many hit the spot. Unfortunately, Hurricane Harvey pushed so much water thru here that pile clearly gone as well as a bunch of old laydowns that were there for years. Fish are still there, just changed their locations big time.

find a sandy or mud bottom flat that is 3 to 6 foot deep and not far from deeper water. Drop a couple in a couple of different spots -- they should hold some interest
