In addition to the question above, placement of the artificial cover is a question i still haven't answered for my dad. What do you guys think? Straight out from "dad's pier" where there's a 10 ft drop is already a plan for a trio or more of the honey-hole style of cover with the soft tubing, but I know a variety of options is best, at different depths. I don't know much about fish behavior, and where the forage would prefer there to be some cover...what do you think? over on the "flat" on the north side where it just ranges from 3-6'? That was an instinct of mine, but i don;'t know if the homeowners there would appreciate it, as clear as the water is, the cover will be very visible. Maybe some rocks and boulder there would be a good idea?

Any suggestions are welcome.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
