my two cents, i've used alot of the post oaks, cedar's, and blackjack oaks that i've cut.. small... no more than 6-8" in diameter.. i've laid them in "laydowns" in several piles around the edge of my far bank.. and man!!.. it rocks.. we pull bass left and right off them.. also the bait fish, "bgills, and fatheads" love em!!.. i also use them to rig my turtle traps by. works like a charm!.. like i said.. i use em!.. and i've had no ill effects, only positive..
good luck.. this site is the best!!
