[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3543218, member: 5412"] Made several of those spider blocks to use as well. They are excellent attractors. For the OP, put your brush out deeper where beaver won't mess with them. I typically fish for crappie in December through February when there is no thermocline in depths of 20-30'. They are balled up on structure and fairly easy to catch. What I'm getting is that your on late spring and summer crappie in shallow water. Pre and post spawn patterns in the beavers normal habitat. Artificial habitat is your only answer as Dlbleak already posted. I've seen some made from pallets nailed into a triangle with cement block or rocks to sink them. NEVER EVER try to put cement blocks or weight on a dead tree, only green. You can't imagine how much weight it takes to sink dry wood. Another artificial structure is the orange barrier fence you see in construction areas. Cut it into strips about 6' or longer, bundle at the bottom with stainless steel wire, put it in flower pot molds and fill with concrete. The plastic will float, get covered in algae and become an attractant the beaver won't mess with. An Okla Wildlife department employee created this attractant with the plastic fence and I've used it with good success in my pond. Put a dozen strips into a 16 oz red solo cup filled with concrete and throw it into the pond. Lake attractants like this should be heavy so current in flood times doesn't move them. [/QUOTE]
