Anyone know anything about artificial fish habitats to attract fish?

I thought I would have a couple of years to research the topic but it looks like they are dropping the lake down for a couple of weeks in October/November. I've heard of people putting artificial fish habitat in the lake to help the fish population. Wouldn't mind doing that near my dock... you know.. because I love lots of fish in my cove :) Anyone ever done this? I have no idea where to start.

Bamboo cemented into a five gallon bucket. Tie stalks together when assembling then cut just before dropping in.
Same 5 gallon buckets with a pvc tree cemented into bucket. Longer lasting but not as effective as bamboo.
Christmas trees... the old stand by

Seems like natural brush works better than artificial. Try bamboo in a 5 gallon bucket filled with concrete.
ETA: I've heard that fish cant really get in a christmas tree as well as other brush because the limbs are so close together. Plus, they are harder to sink IMO

Google "freshwater artificial reefs"
Mostly 5 gallon buckets with cement and pvc tree like structures. Some use old plastic pallets. Lots of articles on LA sportsman as well.

Is that Lake Rosemound?

basically, anything structural that provides cover will do it...
I would put something made of PVC out...lasts a lot longer and you can fish it without getting hung up so much...
fwiw, another old trick is to fill a grass sack with dog food and sink that...

Use a large pvc pipe as your stalk, wedge it through wooden pallets. Submerge.

Get an 8' section of 4" PVC pipe and two end caps. Glue an end cap on one end and drill 6-10 small holes in the last ~8" of the capped end. Sink the capped end ~5 feet and attach to dock with hanger strap. Fill with dog food and cap the top end without glue. Fill as needed. Catch many White Sac-a-crappy.

This looks exactly like the cove where our camp was when we were kids. Like eerily similar..
Is this Toledo Bend?

Slightly OT, but did anyone correctly guess the size of that boat?
