Thanks Bill! I did read that. This is why I'm thinking something artificial. I was thinking something 12 feet long by 4 feet wide and thin laying on the bottom with lots of small diameter tubes sticking up from that.

The tubes could be 1/4" in diameter and flexible so trolling motors and fishing hooks would have a harder time getting hung. I imagine them being about 2 ft long.

I'm not sure how far apart such tubes should be. I looked at the other threads but didn't see anything close to this. The habitat will be for bluegill. We have a shortage of 3-5" bluegill in our pond and need habitat before we stock them.

Any ideas or help is appreciated!

I want to grow 10 lb'ers!!!
