That is why the archive thread is named :
"Structure , cover, etc types and methods with pics"
He doesn't just dance with legalese verbage, folks.
"IT ALL DEPENDS"....
Eastland”s impressive “bulldozer structure” caused me to raise this question, since his primary predator was to be HSB with strong emphasis on crappie.
I agree with Eric that placement of structure/cover is likely more important than percentage.
IIRC, TP&L considers shoreline vegetation in their % recommendation?
For my goals in main pond, less is better except in upper shallower part of pond for forage recruitment.
In ¼ acre HSB/CNBG/RES there is no "structure", only limited shoreline vegetation cover, in order to control BG recruitment.
Again IMO “It All Depends”
