You have to forgive me.. I don't come to the forum much and I don't know what a bp is.. Can you explain?

I fish Grapevine all of the time and I might be interested.

so once you find a brushpile in open water how do you stay on top of it?

seems like when I find something, by the time i get the anchor to actually dig in and hold I'm too far off the marker and have to start over again. any suggestions?

Don't achor. Use a trolling motor to hold you over the BP.

I bet you are in the bar, probably just for the wifi huh?...

Forget the anchor, they just tear up those small BP's....Use a TM and a decent sonar...

True, but if you have a big center-console boat like my buddy has, you can't stay on top of a pile with a trolling motor.

Just a thought...lol
