      also, you might wanna talk to a marine biologist, and have them help you plan everything out, that way you dont get bass locked again, make sure you have plenty of forage and let them have way to much time to establish, plus maybe get rid of all the catfish, maybe make a secondary area, where your overflow into the swamp is as the "catch and cook" area, oh, and dude you gotta do a grass flat! haha

  • @TheCaptainbeefylog
    @TheCaptainbeefylog 2 дня назад +2

    Having that clay is a massive win for the pond expansion. So many people want a pond, but don't realise that you must have good amounts of clay or it's going to be super expensive to have a waterproof layer put in, either by trucking in clay or getting a plastic liner.
    I'd like to see you put in a gazebo/grill area down near the water. Basically a shed with no walls on a concrete slab about 40 feet square.

  • @Mynameis7nad
    @Mynameis7nad 2 дня назад +9

    Build a little hatchery and tie a bunch of papsi crates together to make a blanket of structure for minnows and shinners to spawn in then throw a few hundred in there and let them spawn. You will have thousands of bait fish a week to feed to your bass so much you will never have to cull bass again. Imagine 10 pounders you can hand feed. Use a small pool filter to keep it clean so all you have to do is backwash the sand and add some potted plants for more structure and to filter out some ammonia and nitrogen(a few water soaked driftwood from the river to help keep the levels good). If you have alot you will still have to feed them a little but the plants, logs, bugs and algae should keep them fed for the most part.

    If you want to dry out the swamp you can take the exrmtra dirt and build a straight a creek straight to the river or bigger creak that the swamp drains into. Build a small dam oon the side of the swamp so the water hits it and flows to the creek use any rocks or gravel they find while digging to put along the bottomand bends to prevent erosion.
