So I made another trip up to the farm today and my pond is now officially full. I guess it’s a good problem to have but as some of you know from my previous post I didn’t expect it to basically fill up is such short order. As such I only got a dozen pallets stacked into one end of it for some structure. I had planned on staking down some cedars or other stuff before it filled up but clearly I’m too late for that.
I would like to get some fish into it (some hybrid bluegill, lots of fats heads and probably some channel cats to start) but I also need more structure. I can probably make or buy some stuff to throw out into the pond but thought I would check and see what you guys would do? I don’t have a boat but can probably find one to borrow. It’s only 1/2-3/4 of an acre so I don’t intend to buy a boat. Would you all cut some cedars and tie them off to cinder block and drop them out in the pond? Some of the artificial things you can buy look cool but are pretty damn spendy. I’ve got access to more small and medium sized cedars than you can shake a stick at so that would be the easiest and cheapest thing. Just curious, now that it’s full, what would you all do knowing that it’s not a huge pond anyway. The drawback to the cedars, obviously, is that they will catch on ever hook that comes near them which would be different than the commercial fish structures. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
