This page is designed to give you a better idea of what the world looks like ... underwater. All of the photos below were taken of my Eagle Fishmark 480. I highly recommend this graph for both clarity, and value!

Brushpiles Building Basics...
Below is a 6-image story of how I sink brush. 100% of what I sink is natural brush that I have either cut myself, or picked up from someone elses cuttings. It does take some time and effort, but can pay off with great dividends.

Here is the brush at the ramp...awaiting rope:

Here is how I start putting together a brushpile. I start with about 20' of rope, and tie off a knot on the initial starting piece:

And here is what the pile looks like after I have added 7 or 8 more pieces to it. After each 7 or 8, I tie off another knot to keep everything tight:

Before the pile gets too big, I move it to the bow of the boat. If I am going to be transporting the brush very far, I put the trunks at the front of the boat. Otherwise, the brush will try to flip back over in your face as you cross the lake (more aerodynamic this way). Here is the tied up brush, ready to be delivered:

Here is a shot of where I had decided to drop this brush. There is a 13'-14' flat next to a drop into 22'-25' of water. This is the type of area I really like to sink brush in:

And finally, here is a shot of the brushpile, ready to be tossed overboard. I tie two loops of rope through 2 cinder blocks (3 blocks if brush is much larger), and then toss the brush overboard. The weight of the brush will take the blocks overboard with it.

Brushpiles...
Below is what a brand new brushpile looks like. The brush was tied very tight together. That is why it appears as one solid mass. Large stumps will look like this as well. This pile is about 9' tall, but will settle some over time.

Below is another load of brush ready for the water.

Below is the brush from my boat above. This was primarily magnolia trees. The photo is a little fuzzy, but you can still see what it looks like on the graph.

Below is my new hood ornament. This was all live oak.

I ended up splitting the live oak into 2 smaller brushpiles. The photo is below.

Below is a brush pile that I just happened to run over on my way back to the ramp. This photo was taken just after dark.

The boat you will be fishing from is an Alumacraft Magnum 165CS...with a 75HP Mariner engine.

This boat will comfortably fish 3 people, and it's deep-v construction keeps you dry and comfortable all day.

Larger parties can be accommodated with advance notice.
