Thanks for all your insight. I see a few Crappie around what we have sunk already but it’s in 17 feet of water and they could be largemouth Bass. The lake is in South Carolina and is really a gem but we have been told to get some type of structure (as best we can) and we will never have to restock. DNR says to make structure for the bait fish and some for the Crappie and Bass and we should see some type of results

I’m doing some research and finding out that a majority of the lakes in our area are manmade and the issue is that most of the structure has rotted away after 40-50 years. Pine trees have been sunk over the years , but only the main trunk is left

This is why I am trying to sink what I call “Forever structure”- PVC or other type of non-leaching pipe that will never rot.
