I refresh my brushpiles about every 2 to 3 years. All the crappie in the area move into the new stuff in a day or two. This is what it looks like on down imaging.
I sure wish many of the other lakes (Corp) would have built the piles like they did on Ray Roberts. Catch them at the right time and it can be really good.
They were stacked on trees and brush both yesterday and they were hungry! Kept enough to feed my crew at the fire station today. Ron I def could stand to clean that screen!
