I’ve wondered how many fish are just living fat and happy right under my pier. It’s about 60 ft long with 4x4’s on either side every 7-8 ft and im feeding the gills right off the end. I caught a few under there it this summer but I know there are more down there. They just are not interested in anything I throw. The biggest one was 3lbs and fat. Only fat fish I’ve caught 😆 Now that I’ve added a bunch of supplemental CNBG, there are TONS of gills hovering around and under the pier.

I’m out there venturing all over, grinding it out trying to cull bass and I’d be willing to bet 50% are around that pier laughing at me saying “look at this idiot over there on the other side”.

I am basically doing the same thing as you. All I really know to do as well. I’ve added cedar tree and oak branch piles in various spots, mostly in the 6-8 ft areas close to the banks, but also in a couple/few of the deep, more open water spots. CNBG are definitely hanging out in the brush piles, but only young,4-6 in bass.

I’m hoping theyll venture out shallow in early Spring when they are looking to spawn and spread out. 🤷🏼‍♂️
