I was thinking abouy making a bamboo brush pile for a spot I fish. Would dumping rock or granite around it help?

Yes Sir.

You can’t violate state law. Most lakes you can’t dump things in. Would you do it in front of a game warden? If it’s just brush and nothing foreign like metal trash to hold it down then ask your local game wardens if it’s legal

I have now learned that putting dog food in a brush pile is helpful lol. I’m to lazy for brush anymore don’t live close enough to the lakes I enjoy fishing and don’t wanna trash my boat doing it

What boat?!

Lol didn’t want to trash my boat currently I do not own anything that floats lol

Half the stuff the state dumps in as fish attractors are plastic.

Not cheating Alton Jones made a career out of doing just that.

I can remember laying on the deck of Chris B's boat hanging onto a 15' weighted down cedar tree over the side as he moved the boat into position for the "drop". I was up there hanging on for dear life snortin and gruntin and I just hear his voice saying "hold it, hold it... just a little farther, now make sure it lays down we dont want it standing up". We always used downed trees on the bank, made for some good cover but for some reason those brushpile fish would only bite on prefish days. Chris caught a 9 off one of em, thought that was pretty cool to catch a toad on the brush we put out. I am also very appreciative of everyone putting brush out these days, with side imaging I'm finding enough piles to not even have to sink my own anymore.

I fished with a guy on Fork that is a very popular fishing guide. As we were fishing he got pissed and started cussing out some guy fishing ahead of us. He said that was his spot the other guy was fishing and he( the guide) had spent a lot of time sinking brush there. He nearly came to blows over it.
Sorry, but if you sink brush in a public lake, your spot is now everyone's spot. Its a public lake.

Not really, Bamboo willgrow plankton and the treadfins will move into the tight limb structure. Bass and crappie will slowlycircle the brushpile to pick off Shad.

3/8oz chatterbait with a 5" swimbait in Shad colors will regularly produce some 5 to 6lb Bass. Especially early in the morning.

Unfortunately that is not the mindset with a lot of people. I have witnessed a guide at Fork come into a spot and cuss a guy that had been in that spot for over an hour. It could have been another guide that set him off maybe. Guy was by himself that day though. Either way entitled thinking is becoming the norm in society.
