I was able to scavenge a small load of broken brick from a neighbor and created two rock piles and a couple of rings out out them.

Remember, bass like to spawn with one side of the nest against something. Whether it be a stump, log or clump of grass, anything. They want a hard bottom like sand or gravel, but dont typically spawn on a rough chunky bottom. I built my cirlces open on one side facing deep water, but left the bottom natural and the brick piles higher in the back to create a barrier against raiders. Don't know if the bass will use them, but to me they should attract my bucks to make their nests in those spots as there isn't much else for them.

The rock piles are in about 4' of water and the panfish seem to love being around them.
