    Found the tip of one, and the butt of one.

    Rain

    Ha! I thought I was the only one who had to chase gravel after every rain. I actually found something that doesn't was too bad at washing out. My guy calls it 2-3 inch blue rock. It's staying put pretty well.

    Rain

    We got SUPER LUCKY last night. Had a wall cloud with lots of rotation headed straight towards the house, then another storm popped up behind it and changed it's path. It was only a couple of miles away and strengthening when that happened. Got some rain, some hail, lots of wind, and a...

    Time to lighten up - Laughter is good medicine Part II

    That bombing also killed 170 civilians that weren't talked about by our media, or pinned on biden. And... biden didn't address the families well enough to keep a father from being arrested for causing a scene at the State of the Union. She put a bad dog down 20yrs ago, he has been incompetent...

    Anyone have ideas for spawning structures specific to Golden Shiners? I have GS in the pond but would love to encourage more of them. And no, I'm sinking a John Deere...

    Fish structures

    I use 9 wire (left over from my demo-derby days) on structures. I get anal about tieing things down. I hate trash floating up in a pond. That's one of the reasons I almost always use wood. Two hands in the water gives them a chance. Otherwise it's pretty easy to dislocate a jaw (so I'm...

    Fish structures

    I'm gloating, and it's rude (sorry). I'm fortunate to have this place and owe most of it to my wife and her desire to move back "home". We are here due to her wanting to continue the family ranch and give back to the community she grew up in. With that said we've taken complete advantage of...

    All of your structures look great! I did something similar KY wild this winter with placing structure on ice for melt-out.

    Fish structures

    My pond's main basin averages 10' deep, the sides are a gradual slope. I like to put vertical structure in at the transition between the slope and the 10' basin. Make it tall enough to go from bottom to top. I'm going to experiment with structure in the main part of the lake. But, we swim...

    Lol, I actually think I have a couple of "hammers" or tool heads of some sort. The first has two notches dished out that make it fit your hand perfectly, and the 2nd one is just too "shaped" to be an accident. Got to have been used for something.

    I sink trees. Cedar and hedge are my favorites. Cedar does rot away in a decade or so but hedge lasts a long time. I don't mind replacing them every once in a while.

    The guy that shared it with me said he averages 500 a day, with 1000 a day on occasion. It inspired me to go out with the skid steer this winter and dig a strip. I sorted through it and found NOTHING. I did make a mess of things though. Next winter I might disc the field several times to get...

    This may or may not help T-Max, but it works for me. If you look for high spots near creeks that have been disced or plowed you can up your odds a lot. The red marks are where I find 90% of what I have found. A guy can put a lot of miles on their shoes being in the wrong spots!
