I have put brush down before at marinas but never at a private boat house. This boat house sways a little in the wind unlike the marinas. My question is, should this make a big difference?

Nah, should be about like fishing a brush pile in a boat.

Nope...just sink it.

Oh that makes a HUGE difference! Why don't you let me go out there with ya and show you how to properly brush it!

All joking aside...I wouldn't see how it could make a difference.

Good luck!

pm me those grid cords!!! I wont tell anyone!
Some of the best docks sway!

We "sling shot" jigs under the pontoon boats that are being stored at the marinas. They are constantly moving a little bit.

Has anyone ever used bambo for a brush pile?

They brush will not sway.

Rosco, you wanted to know about bamboo brush piles, well here you are http://www.actionfishingtrips.com/habitat.htm

Did someone say "BAMBOO"?

That's a good link, Joe. Like the pics.

Where can a guy find some bamboo?

I have a friend in dallas who is cutting down a lot that is full and is needing to get some hauled off. PM if you would like some

Anybody that has some growing will be happy for you to cut a bunch at at the ground. They can't get rid of it.

I think sway is a good thing. I have brushed up my dock for years with columns of brush, or other inventive cover. I tie things end to end so as to cover the water column, in my case about 18 to 20 ft. Be sure to allow to absorb the shock on the rope or cable if you suspend a lot of cover as it will break-a-loose when the wind gets up. I think a good movement of the brush shakes off things of interest to bait and larger fish.
