I have access to a GIANT pontoon boat with no rails...just a steering wheel and a motor...a brushpile machine...
Anyone have any hints on what brush or structure makes the unders hold?

How giant? I might have some surplus farm equipment. Kidding, cedars short term, bois d' arc long term.

I don't know much about "unders", but you can't beat a green willow or a nice large cedar tree!
Get some scuba gear and hand place them on the drops. You can position them into a nice "hotel" for those little bass!
Wouldn't that be nice!
You can avoid having ulcers by adapting to the situation: If you fall in the mud puddle, check your pockets for fish. ~Unknown
Open your eyes & look within, are you satisfied with the life you�re living.
No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs.

But you better have a bunch of chains and an extra bar for your saw if you go the bois d' arc route, Cam.

Scuba gear, heck! Have you seen Cam? He could accomplish that while keeping one foot in the boat!

Seriously Cam, I've got a friend who is a master brushpiler. Cement weights, BIG trees, the works. PM'g you his name and phone number now. Call him and tell him I gave you his number and what you're wanting to do. Then pour yourself a tall one and pull up a chair cuz yer gonna be there awhile!

I'm sure you could find a local diver around Fork! I hear it's key to getting the pile positioned just right! I may have just spoiled some guys secret!

A Sweetgum Tree works the best. And they can be found all over the lake.  Give me a shout and I`ll come help you if you want it? I have a certain "spot" that I`d like to sink one.

What about a PVC structure? You'd have to buy the materials and built it of course, but that won't rot underwater during your lifetime. There is a pond near my house that was developed by Bill Dance. I watched them build it. PVC trees all over it.
The two best times to fish is when it's rainin' and when it ain't.
