Our lake has scattered logs in shallow water that range from small 3 foot logs, to logs 16 feet long and 18 inches wide. Most of them are just resting on the bottom of the lake in 1-5 foot of water.

I never see any fish near these sunken logs. Should these sunken logs be piled together to build better cover and if so, in what type of pattern?

We also have some floating logs and some that still have only one end floating.

I never have seen any fish near these floating logs either(plenty of turtles on them) and the majority of them are just washed up perpendicular against the bank. Should I move these floating logs away from the bank and sink them with bricks?


Thank You
