Here is a picture of a bluegill structure we build and have placed in the center of shallow coves. We have 20 of these around the 80 acre lake. We add brush to them annually and re-sink them. They are made of 1" PVC pipe with snow fence zip tied around the 5'x 5'x 5' shape. We have the corner's of the pens weighted with 3 lb. lead weights. The holes in the fence allow bluegill to access the center of the pen and keep larger bass out. They can snag lures like crank baits, but otherwise are ok with a Texas rigged worm. They act as great bass magnets and cover for bluegill.

These structures are now under approx. 10' of water. I attached them to the lake bottom by staking them down with heavy wire attached to concrete blocks I buried in the bottom. They act as great magnets for bass. I placed approx. 20 of these hard wood trees in the lake this dry season. Hard work...but worth the effort when you can drive your boat around a lake and know exactly where to cast to catch bass consistently. I have all the structure photographed at the low water levels when it is placed and the GPS location of each recorded. I carry all the photos and GPS numbers on laminated sheets in a binder that I carry on my boat when fishing. My wife says that I'm cheating and making fishing too easy..lol.
