[QUOTE="pelagicbldr, post: 272834, member: 3585"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Fishiding Structures FHS-139.800.jpg"]40205._xfImport[/ATTACH]You bet Rich. If your lake has weed problems, when the weeds decompose, they take away oxygen from the fish and can't act as the surface to grow the periphyton food. PVC and rock for example, provide the surface for these much needed communities for fish to feed on. If you add aeration to create water movement, things only improve. It's important to remember that habitat and cover need to be present from the 2' deep shore where they spawn and hatch, with a continuous line of cover from shallow to deep break lines where the larger predators hang out and hunt. More habitat placed together right, is far more effective than small clumps spread across the lake/pond. Here's some underwater pics of our cribs in a cold, clear Northern Wisconsin Lake after less than four weeks in the water. Needless to say Eric, the photographer was very impressed after he thought they would have trouble covering with algae in this pristine, oligotrophic lake.
