I have access to a floating dock. Sits in about 30 feet of water. I plan to suspend some left over Christmas trees underneath it. Any recommendations for depth? And do most people suspend the trees trunk up or trunk down.
Thanks.

15-20 down, trunk down
Lights on or off?
Concrete block, 15' of rope and some milk jugs tied in tree will work.

Tinsel to attract minnows or not?
a match, 20 second burn time, pine needles off, sink in 15 ft trunk down
Only blue spruce trees, matches the blue herring.
The ones I've got hanging are on rope(upside down), so I can adjust for the thermocline, usually around 25-30 feet
Why is everyone saying trunk down? Just curious?

How many trees ya ever seen grow upside down, even natural trees in the lake that are standing connected to the lake bottom are trunk down. LOL
Trunk down. As algae forms on the branches, it will weigh them down and force the tree to spread it branches and give more open space. If you mount them trunk up, the tree will get smaller as the branches weigh down. I usually cut every other branch off to open the trees even further before burning the needles off. I use HD zip ties to attach the blocks.

Thanks for the replies!
why milk jugs
I'd be more concerned about how you're gonna defend your spot from tx fishermen, pros, and grumpy old men.
Make sure to put up No Trespassing signs all over your dock! If you have enough put 2 on the bottom and 2 half way down. Why not cover all depths? If you have enough trees of course!

Get some Led lights on it for night fishing. Perhaps a few ornaments for safe measure too
