Turn the well inlet into an aerator? That way it doesn't drill through the clay liner and enhances the pond health (meaning better bass!) I would drain and build the dock right the first time with piers and avoid the floating dock. My last suggestion would be getting some 3 or 4 inch plastic pipe and criss cross it inside the willow cage and zip tie it to the cage. That way when the willows rot in 2 or 3 years, the pipe will still be a great fish attractor.

@thoriated 2 жыл бұрын
I agree with building the dock the right way now, even if you have to let some water out and delay the fill. It's just going to be more troublesome to go back and do it over later with plants and fish in the pond. Put some rip-rap stones at the fill pipe to hold it in place, break up the flow and limit the erosion. Once there is water over it you won't be able to see what it's doing. Hate for it to blow a hole through the liner. You could also drill small holes along the submerged length to reduce the force of flow, like a drip hose.

Definitely agree with this comment. This is how we keep our watering pivots from sinking deep into the ground from erosion. We set big lava rock for it to walk on. Helps prevent more erosion and gives the pivot something solid to be on.

My uncle , my cousin & I did this very thing back in 2009 with 60 acres on my uncles land . I’m from the Mid West . The first thing my uncle did was find a natural spring then had it capped & redirected a creek so it would flow into the lake & back out again . It took 5 years before we could fish it because we had to make sure the ecosystem was viable for the fish . Now it’s a thriving lake & my uncle stocks it regularly . It’s a blast to fish & we don’t have to go far to fish it .

I hope you open the drain up and let the water drain to the point of being able to build the type of dock that you want to have. There will be many years of enjoying the dock you want instead of enduring the dock you don't want. You spent the money on the well, and you did the manual labor of putting in the 2" fill pipe, you know that you can fill the pond manually if in fact you don't get the typical rain you talk about in every video. With all of that said, stay safe! I for one am praying for not just your family, but all of the impacted areas from Ida, and I'm sure many others are as well. Blessings to you and yours, Mr. BamaBass!!

I think you need to dump a load of gravel where the well comes into the pond to help limit the erosion. You might also/instead put 30 degree bend pointing upward, once there's a few feet of water. That way, the steam will be disrupted by the existing water, rather than having a heavy stream of water running parallel to your clay liner.

Love the work you've done, it looks amazing. Pls do a time lapse of the pond filing, I think it would look so satisfying

Floating dock seems more practical. Especially during hurricane season. And! They're less maintenance in comparison.

This is insane. How you are able to do this is beyond me, but this is like something you’d have in a dream. Your very own pond, with YOUR fish, and you decide who gets to fish there. No Karen’s telling you not to fish. This is so freaking cool

@@footos8511 he paid to have it done. It's not like he works a real job either. You sound like someone so lazy by even saying that.

bama! I live waterfront on a lake and started with a wooden dock, sledge hammering poles into the lakebed, and eventually upgraded to aluminum. my aluminum dock has plates on the bottom of the supports that just sit nicely on the lake floor, and I can tie boats up to it just fine. For your purposes a floating dock would work just fine. No reason to risk the integrity of your clay layer.

My family just found a good spot with clay, dug a hole, and hoped for the best. This is a lot of work for some awesome results! They also have a floating dock and it works great.

You gotta go back and watch all the videos. From the three hundred to the backyard pond all the way back to the 55. Still hard to believe he had both bass in that aquarium at onetime. Now look at them. About to get 😄a whole pond! 😎

This pond is my dream pond. Grats! Do we all get a fishing invitation? 😂
@HokiePitcher22 Жыл бұрын
This is fascinating. From a fishing standpoint, building and filling your own pond you will know the topography (might now be the right word 🤷) of that pond like the back of your hand. All the shelves, the dropoffs, the structure etc. It'll make it super fun for catching fish. Nothing like fishing a pond you're very familiar with

The bass is awesome. I had a large mouth and a peacock bass in an outdoor tank 15 years ago. Feeding time was the best. Let it fill and float a dock, you'll never have to worry about the liner
