Anyone who wants to plant brush on bull shoals LEGALLY right now can get a permit from the mountain home office. Drag your wife along if you want double the permits!

My time is probably better spent, idling around watching the graph until I locate the motherload of kentuckies.

There you go Trophy------When you get to be my age it is a out all you can do. This next one will be my last I think.

I am sure there are all kinds of brish pile set up in those lakes down there,that the COE never authoriaed. Countryred mentioned about setting them up in this toirnament days. You better believe where there is money on the line some tournament fishermen will build piles. I think it goes on at all levels as well. maybe they do not build them but those who do tip them where they are.

There were about a dozen of us guys planting brush in those days on that lake. . Sometimes we would plan to brush up a spot and find out some one already did it. Most of mine were in more obscure places. I was single and didn't hunt then so it was a good use of my time.

In lakes with little deep water cover, or cleared parts of a lake,..it does help.

With the electronics, GPS, Side scanning, etc......time spent idling around can do almost as good as planting brush. A tiny tree, stump, or rockpile that can hold a few fish is as good as a monster pile. The key is to be able to locate it quickly and get a bait in there.

The last time I bass fished there , my buddy and I hit a few of them just to see if they decayed or still held fish. The lake was low, no current , late August and not a cloud in the sky. The first couple held nothing but we caught 5 that weighed 14-15 pounds off the last one we hit. Two decent sized events were held that day and 12 won both of them. Chances are no one had hit that spot in years.

Many crappie guides do that as well,..Some lake like Lake of the Ozarks and Table Rock , there is enough planted brush to just look for it instead of planting.
