Love your attitude.
Great opening statement 🎉🎉🎉
Thank you
WELL SAID .
Great video! I use Xmas trees as well after the holidays.
Awesome video…
Howard Johnson's been making Crappy Hotels for years!
Onlentucky lake Tennessee
Good Video...Learned alot. Could you post the GPS coordinates for that pyle?? Just Kidding😂 Much appreciated
I’m glad you mentioned to people that once you drop your brush pile, it is no longer yours!! If you are that sensitive about the brush pile, take it up and LEAVE THE FISH! The same with docks! As long as no one touches your dock in anyway, you can’t tell them they can’t fish there!
You don’t own the water nor the fish!!!
Excellent point. Nature is for everyone. People needs to stop trying to claim it for themselves.
👍😎
Appreciate your attitude. Press On!!!
Great Video, Thanks for Sharing!

Thanks for this video!! This is a super easy way to do brush piles. I'm definitely going to use this method.
Great video Greg. Thanks so much.
Well done! Thank you for sharing that info
Can you use Christmas trees and sink with bricks or blocks
I would guess yes...just a different looking "hotel"
Excellent video.

Thanks for watching!
Can't cut trees in ky like that
I thought you were going in couple times
Thx for the info, your videos are very informative. I took your advice and mounted my livescope transducer on a separate mount. Your video was the first to tell me that. I didn’t listen at first and mounted it on my ulterra trolling motor and didn’t like it. I just wanted you to know that. Stay blessed!
Thanks for watching!

I like the willow limbs, way better than Christmas trees. Thanks for the info, plan on putting some out in some episodes this year! #BarFlyFishingTexas
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for a great how to. Beats the heck out of lugging ones built at home and hauling concrete around.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video. I never thought of building these on location like this.
Nice information there guy...

Thank you for sharing your tips and wisdom. I'm just now getting into crappie fishing and you have already helped tremendously! Thanks again sir!
Very nice. Thank you for watching!
Greg, Appreciate you posting this and the other videos. Very well composed and easy to understand. If you ever get out to central Alabama come fish the Alabama and Coosa Rivers.
Sound good! Thanks for watching
Logan Martin and Weiss Lake
Nice video. I enjoyed it. I build my own crappie weight loss centers, hoping the big boys and girls show up for a workout :).
Excellent video with the right level of detail. I'm going to build one soon!
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video!!!! Thank you for putting in the time, effort, and giving such good detailed info. Appreciate it!!!! I SUBSCRIBED!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video!
Thanks for watching!
wow. you know your stuff. I just subbed, but I can tell when someone knows their stuff. Lots of people make fishing videos these day but not many know their stuff.
Thanks for watching
Good job on video!
Greg, I have used Xmas trees and a cinderblock brick to make brush piles on lake Ray Hubbard in the Dallas area. It is certainly an effective way to attract crappie.
Rick you gotta show me where on Hubbard you dropped them trees. Crappie season is fast approaching
@@De_Red That was some time ago. I haven’t fished Ray Hubbard in many years. When I was there we dropped them in about 20 foot of water close to DalRock marina off I30 going east.
Glen you are all over it brother - this is good stuff - great video
Thanks for watching!
Grate video and I saw the other one you maid awesome will be putting some out soon . And would like to get a trip with you will look up info on a fishing trip with you soon 👍🏻
Sounds good. Thanks for watching!
Another fantastic video, I’m gonna start using sand bags instead of five gallon buckets
Since I made that video I started using pea gravel in those bags. You can buy a 50 lb. sack of pea gravel at Lowes for $4.28. I put 25 lb. of gravel per sack. Easy to pick up and very clean in the boat. Thanks for watching!
the ties that are used in the HVAC industry are super long and durable. Some full line building supply stores stock them.
Good to know. Thanks for watching!
Good info ! made me hit the subscribe button.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Greg, First thank you for this video, so very well put together. Although I contacted my local game warden, he was ruff but to the point no I'd better not do this on my lake here in Kentucky or ill be fined for littering. Oh well.. But you could help me with some other questions, which I do have many. See the lake I fish holds good numbers, and some 2lb plus crappie. But, this lake is chuck full of standing timber, they made this lake for it to be a trophy bass lake. So its already one big brush pile. Here's my trouble that I'm having, we have had a lot of ran this year here in kentucky, I have noticed once the water gets muddy its like the crappie just disappear.. Usually once the water gets muddy it will take at least a week to clear, if we not get any more rain during that time. The lake is normaly stained water. Once its muddy though its over, at least for me. So my question is what goes with these fickle fish? I'm still learning to use my Lowrance electronics too, I'm trying dispretly hard to be a better crappie fisherman, any help here. Thank you Don.
Muddy water can be a real challenge. Crappie feed looking up and you have to put it right on them. You just won't catch as many. But here's some tips:
Locate your fish using the downscan feature on the Lowrance. Take note of the exact depth that most of them seem to hold. Get your bait down to 1-2 feet above it. Then slowly lower it down to them. Raise it up again and repeat. Then hold it as still as you can.
Also, try using different color jigs tipped with minnows. Rigging up 2 jig/minnow combinations will increase your chances. Hook your minnow through the bottom lip and up through the top of his head. I have guests here now from Missouri and they fish muddy water all the time over in Mississippi. Their favorite technique is spider rigging. They rig up 8 16' rods, double rigged with jig/minnow combinations, and this man and wife couple move along at 2 miles per hour. They love this technique and they catch good numbers of fish. Bottom line is,
don't get zoned in on one technique. Daddy always said, "If there's a will, there's a way!". Thanks for watching.
Greg Fenn/Camoriver Guide Service Wow! what an awesome reply! THANK YOU very much! I will put this all to work, and keep you informed on how it goes. Thank you again, and please keep those videos coming! God bless.. Don.
Nice job, I always just did 5 gal bucket with concrete, but I like your method a little better. No concrete littering the lake bed.
Thanks for watching
Great video and thanks for sharing your information. May I ask when you get time to video a close up of how you tie the bags and the jugs. You mentioned slitting the bag and I wonder what keeps the sand inside and the bags firm underwater for the 5 yr. lifespan. Thanks again
I havn't had any brush piles move in the last 3 years, but since the video I did make a change for another reason. Lowe's sells pea gravel for $3.97 for a 50 lb bag. I put 40 lbs of gravel in the white sand bags, which makes my cost just over $3.00 per dropped brush pile. The gravel is easier and less messy to handle. I make small holes (slits) in the bag and run a 1/4" cord through it, which runs through the willow limbs. Works great. Always trying to improve the process, and glad to share it with others. Thanks for watching!
@@GregFenn so you tie the trees together with the zip ties through the holes you made in the base of each limb? And then to tie it to the bag you make slits and run 1/4"? Confused.
@@augieisaacson5906 yep...very vague in the discription. ..
That's a good use for old Christmas Trees!
You bet. Thanks for watching!
Love the video how long do you have to wait for fish to be on the fresh brush
When I was younger on Dam-B we would just dump the old Christmas tree in the lake and tie it off to a cypress tree..haha.
Thanks for watching!
When my buddy fished mine, I came and fished right beside him. He later said , SORRY, I shouldn't have done that
imm going to build me some soon. i live about a 40 minute drive from that lake i just need to find a good spot. i live south of the damn so thats 40 minutes to the dam im going to try to cut back on my driving but i dont think i can, i guess i could be at Zavala in 40 minutes too.
Are you cutting that hole in the bag to tie the brush on above where you tie it shut?? Thanks Great video
I fish a dozen brush piles I've never put one in a Lake though once you put it in the lake it belongs to the lake
Thanks for the video Greg. When you build a condo is 25 lbs of sand adequate per bag?
Thanks so much for a very informative video. Can I use the same technique on Christmas trees? And do they last as long? Enjoyed the video. I fish Lake Eufaula Alabama.
Great Video!! I fish Lake O The Pines mostly & do most of my crappie fishing in the winter. Just now getting into the spring/summer crappie fishing. Was interested in knowing how soon can you expect fish on your new brush tops.
The most time it ever took was 10 days. But many times I went back the very next day and it already had crappie on it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for watching! I have had crappie on a new brush top the very next day. But as a rule I don't go back and check them for one week.
me n my husband made a few crappie bed today
I put a jug on mine like a trot line then a few yards away I put another jug with a weight. People think it's a trot lines. It helps lol
Smart man. Thanks for watching!
Love the video,how did u attach the zip line to the bag??
Just cut two small slits with a pocket knife. Bags are woven in criss-cross pattern and slits won't get bigger as time goes along. Thanks for watching!
@@GregFenn ohh ok tyvm!
Very well spoken about brush pile ownership. I fish brush piles that I have found, knowing good and well that I didn’t put them there. However, I contribute to the fishery by making my own brush piles knowing that others will find them and fish them. Good information in your videos. I’m still fairly new to crappie fishing, but have done very well this last year and absolutely love it.
WOW i would have never thought that it was legal to sink plastic in any public waterway's It's awesome that they allow this...wish they did where i live
Thanks for watching!
Great job! If I were a guide, I'd make the same kind of video....Easy to be the armchair QB....but you need to tell the folks where you are located Brother!
I love your videos, Greg. What editing software do you use? You do a good job with it. I hope to book your service one day.
I've used several over the years. Currently Adobe
Thanks for watching!
Good video. May I add, it may be prohibited to cut on live tree's, on state, county Park & water.
I'm gonna build me some soon, I live about a 40 minute
Great video I have a question about using sandbags how long do you think they will hold the brush pile. Will they rot quick?
The bags won't, however sooner or later the sand /dirt will be gone. So in the last year I have been filling the sand bags with pea gravel that I buy from Lowe's. 50 lb sack is $4.25. I use 30 lbs per 3 willow limbs. Thanks for watching!
Christmas trees also work good.
How fast do the fish set on the piles after they are dropped???
Usually around one week, however twice last year I had crappie on brush piles the very next day. It's all about choosing the right places to put them.
Thank You so much, very good video if we can just get the yanks to understand they don't own the water life will be good
We do own the water. We took it fair and square from POS Colonialists who thought that THEY owned it.
Greg, will you clarify, do you fill the jug in the top portion of the limbs with water to try and make the whole thing lay flat or leave the jug empty to try and make the tops rise up?
jb7555 pretty sure it's empty. Or you could fill it with a spray foam insulation to make it float.
Greg how many jugs do you tie to each top. To make them set up straight.
Ususally just one. Thanks for watching!
