So what is the ideal depth to place structure for FHM if you have LMB, Crappie, HBG, CC already stocked?
SHALLOW! Less than a foot... 6"-12" would be about right. I've seen FHM spawning in 2" of water.
Does the type of structure make a difference on the depth it is placed?
Depends on the purpose...
What is the best water, structure, plants etc. to get GSH to spawn?
Not sure I completely understand what you are asking... best water? structure is not really related to GSH spawning. They spawn in relatively shallow areas usually over aqustic vegetation, FA etc. An easy way to boost their reproduction is to plant rye in the fall when water levels are lower. The rye grows in the fall, go dormant in the winter and then is flooded by spring rains, providing an ideal spawning area for your GSH.
