FLAIR you should really be constructing some sort of gravel substrate to your pond to promote reproduction. Even if there seems to be many prey fish more can never hurt to help grow large bass. Also consider stocking golden shiners in your pond. Shiners do not grow as wide as sunfish species. If a gill is too wide for a bass it cannot swallow it but since shiners are more streamline they can be eaten by bass even in a fully grown state.
Use sprinkler tubing instead of the black tubing you got. It looks the same, but it's cheaper. Also, for the large pvc pipe, use drainage piping instead of schedule 40. It also looks the same, and is cheaper as well.
Drill a couple holes in the bottom of the pipe, put some bolts in and then pour the cement around it in the bucket, above the bolts. The bolts will help anchor the pipe to the cement.
No expert but you might need a bit more concrete Edit: thanks for hearting every comment. Shows that you care about about us fans. P.s first time a TH-cam has liked my comment :)
That bush is going to be spot on. Thanks for the Depot plug, I am a supervisor there. Wish I could have been there to help you out on this project. Do me one big favor.... wear safety glasses when you are using power tools!!! These will work great.
So for structure wise, what we do in Virginia in our manmade ponds and even Claytor Lake, we gather Christmas trees or trees that get knocked down in the roads, we bind them together and put them in the center, it’s a natural structure that works good for cover and growing algae etc but we sink them in different spots of the water depending how big the area is
A tip for the next time you build something and you want it to stay in the cement without siding out at some point. Drill few hole in base of whatever you putting into the cement and put peace of pipe or rebar threw. Nice build really enjoyed watching you do dad things. 😂
Hey Flair, You Could tie the basket on all 4 sides, an just have a big swivel with the 4 lines coming off the basket. Have a buoy on the other side like a bobber stop almost on surface and you can adjust the depths you need if it’s not working in the other depths!
Before putting in the concrete place a couple bolts in the white tile pipe below the level of the concrete. This will help keep the concrete attached to the tile. You can also run a few screws thru the bucket side to accomplish keeping the concrete in the bucket. I have seen where the concrete has broke free of the pipe and let it float to the surface. Put your "christmas tree" in the bucket and put the concrete in the bucket dry, tap the concrete to pack it in the pour the water over the top until it stops soaking in and it will set and hold everything in place.
You take 2 used tire "you can get form tire shops 4 free" and 2 by 4s and make a barel shape but u can leave just like 3 inch gap for littel fish and you can make the gap wider to 👍 hope this helps we did it to all of are pounds you put the out when there is ice on the pound its the best and so easy AND IT ROLLS 😁 hope this helps it should look like a crab trap
Concrete works of a process called hydration. The longer it stays wet before drying the harder it gets. An easier way to do the concrete in the bucket is put about 2 gallons of water in first then pour the concrete in. It's basically self mixing that way. And use a forstner bit for the wholes for the "branches". Cleaner cuts and less binding than a spade bit. Also you need to put something through the bottom of the "trunk" to anchor it to the concrete. Drill a hole so the concrete can get through the wall and encase the pvc or put a piece of metal or scrap pvc through for the concrete to hold on to. If the concrete gets to cold in the winter it could squeeze the trunk out and ruin the "tree". Hope this helps bud. Great video. 👍
Find some extra pallets, 6 to make a cube and throw that down for structure. You could also contact fish and game and find out what they would suggest for additional structure ideas.
Get some huge drums and cut both ends off. Drop a few in areas throughout lake and mark them with rebar for easy location. Bass will hang around it for both shade and as an ambush point to snack on unsuspecting baitfish.
I know of some ponds here in South Africa where the people took old car tyres and attached like 4 of them together and just droped that in for structures a d the bass love it. Especially if you say your bottom is not flat the tyres will be awesome because it doesnt need to stand up strait it can lay down and still work awesomely
Hey flair if you think your concrete is too wet next time add some gravel to it! Also that pool noodle trap is pretty bad ass and should catch plenty of flair fish!
Great idea over all on the Bush but idea for you is put the branches arching up. Then you won't get hung on it at all. Also a long stiffer cross tee at the top in case it ever gets pulled over on its side half of it won't desapear. Also get a smaller branch pvc and it will make drilling a little bit easier.
Get a boat bunggie and attach it from the weight to the trap then add a lot of extra rope so you can stand at the dock and pull the trap in then when your done it pulls itself back out. Your pretty much just exchanging the boat for your trap set up
Next time put the "tree" in the bucket, next put the cement in the bucket, then the water, and then poke the cement with a stick or something so the water soakes in. Way easier. Trustt 😂
You can also use a lighter weight pipe, such as sewer & drain tile, or even sdr35. both are cheaper than sch. 40 and lighter to boot. fittings are also significantly cheaper. Also, ADS pipe comes in MANY different sizes, could buy one 10" length and section it off to make several hollow logs.
U guys are hilarious! No construction background what so ever. I still give u guys an A for effort though. I can be ur consultant on ur construction work if need be lol
The amount of water you add changes how strong the concrete will be. If you want strong concrete you add just enough water to get all of the concrete wet but since you don't really need it to be strong and it's just for making the tree sink the amount of water doesn't really matter. Also maybe try spiraling the holes for the tree "limbs" so it will create a larger pocket for the bass to hide in.
For the next one drill a hole or two at the bottom of the pvc. Run a big bolt through and put a nut on the end. Then stick it in the concrete. It will hold better that way.
How about tying them to a cinder block and cap and seal all the pvc fittings and holes with silicone tree should float and you won’t have to worry about it falling over should float straight up
Hey flair. My dad works in the concrete industry and I’ve done a science fair project with concrete. The concrete being that runny and wet when you mixed it will not ruin it. It’ll just take a little longer to cure. That’s it. Other than that it shouldn’t matter too much, especially with the sort of application you are using it for.
You should use old Christmas trees as structure for your pond that’s what my friend uses and fish really hold up on it Then you can mark it by uses old propane tanks and buoys so you know where they are at

Possible suggestion: rough up PVC with coarse sandpaper to encourage algae growth as the algae can stick to the PVC better than smooth pipe

5 seconds in and the Mandels get strapped on...you knew it was going to be a good vid! 😂

Yes more Pond Management....... its giving me ideas for the pond I tend to
LIKE if Flair should do a Catch n Cook!?!?
Gotta have "appliances" in the bakery to make those brutes happy!
You should put a GoPro in the trap
As a plumber I cried when I watched you cut the pvc with a circular saw lol.
I think it would be way easier to buy so cinder blocks and find some big dead trees and sink them rather than putting a ton of plastic in your pond.
those sandals lookin a little crusty my friend
I’m am Mr.Crusty
FLAIR hey Flair I’m ur biggest fan
What’s up lojo I watch your videos as well I watch every upload
How tall are you?
😂😂
They had premade pvc with holes in home Depot right behind you flair
Flair make a homemade fishing pole for your next video!!!
You should run a small rod Through the bottom of the big pool so that the concrete would hold the pole in the bucket
No expert but you might need a bit more concrete
Edit: thanks for hearting every comment. Shows that you care about about us fans.
P.s first time a TH-cam has liked my comment :)
Ruslan K No he just loves every one and doesn’t read them

Definitely gonna show this to my buddy on the way to the lake tomorrow. Can’t wait to see how they work!
*touches concrete* “oh gosh why is it so hard?” 😂😂
Thank you for all your help with fishing you have thought me a lot
Put fake plastic Christmas trees into buckets of cement. It looks natural and provides shelter for bass. GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS FLAIR 🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Hey flair you are a great TH-cam and deserve more subs. Keep making me smile with these dope vids. 🎣
your homie just laughin behind your back lmao

Nice floor Matt, andrew. 😂🤣
ACTUAL LEGEND W THOSE FIRE SANDALS 🔥
Get some huge drums and cut both ends off. Drop a few in areas throughout lake and mark them with rebar for easy location. Bass will hang around it for both shade and as an ambush point to snack on unsuspecting baitfish.
Chatching da feeish!
Keep em coming flair.
Remember 1rod1reel. Back in the day
“Brute Bush” haha you’re a legend
Flair you are doing really good with everything and you and the Googan squad make my day every single day
Flair: how do people do this?
Random bro-guy (walks by with 10 pipes on a shopping cart)
I know of some ponds here in South Africa where the people took old car tyres and attached like 4 of them together and just droped that in for structures a d the bass love it. Especially if you say your bottom is not flat the tyres will be awesome because it doesnt need to stand up strait it can lay down and still work awesomely
The lady in the back while y’all were at Home depo was looking at you funny as she walked by 😂
Hey flair if you think your concrete is too wet next time add some gravel to it! Also that pool noodle trap is pretty bad ass and should catch plenty of flair fish!
Flair you are my favorite TH-cam

Also a long stiffer cross tee at the top in case it ever gets pulled over on its side half of it won't desapear. Also get a smaller branch pvc and it will make drilling a little bit easier.
That is by far the coolest looking one
You should put cinder blocks in the brute bakery for structure. And also the Christmas tree looks great
Get a boat bunggie and attach it from the weight to the trap then add a lot of extra rope so you can stand at the dock and pull the trap in then when your done it pulls itself back out. Your pretty much just exchanging the boat for your trap set up

Who got that one family member that would see him at home depot n start talking smack in spanish about a noob😂
Put rocks in bottom to weight down. Put lid with hole in top. Slide pipe through hole to hold in place
Love this video
U guys are hilarious! No construction background what so ever. I still give u guys an A for effort though. I can be ur consultant on ur construction work if need be lol
Your rod is amazing just came in and I love it
Love your videos keep up the good work
Make a x out of pvc fill it with concrete and attach it to bottom to keep it from falling over
Flair rockin the new Grillmaster 7's 🤔🔥
What? Googan opening? Make ya boi a googan 👍
Another good vid👍
Great *Video* Congratulations Fisherman.
Have a nice week and good fishing. HUG!🎣🐠🐟🐡

Good video! Like the floating fish trap and the tree idea.
Started my own channel!!! You and the googans inspired me!! Thank you, and keep up the content. But AP is KILLIN it, ask if he offers lessons:)
Doing dad things in some dad sandals haha. Dope video!
I love your creative ideas
You should drill holes at the end of each of the poles and tie string to them to catch fish 👍🏻
Flair do more vids on your pond/property!!!
Shout out nelk boys
You are the best TH-camr and hunter
Such a dope fish trap suspension method and cool fake trees
GBR! Interested to hear how the bass like in the future!
For the next one drill a hole or two at the bottom of the pvc. Run a big bolt through and put a nut on the end. Then stick it in the concrete. It will hold better that way.
You could use the shelf behind you in 15:52 and find a way to make it stand
Holly crap you have a lot of time on your hands you ♥ all of your comments
Flair” wearing dad shoes”
3 years later is a dad
You should paint the blue gill trap all black so it blends in better
Get a fake mini Christmas tree, like a 3-4 foot one, and do the same thing
I cant believe this man cut pvc with a circular saw, when he had his hacksaw right there lmao Love the vids man
Drill in a circle anchor on the bottom it would be more flush and less visible to the fish
How about tying them to a cinder block and cap and seal all the pvc fittings and holes with silicone tree should float and you won’t have to worry about it falling over should float straight up
WHO LET FLAIR HAVE A CIRCULAR SAW!!!
Hey flair. My dad works in the concrete industry and I’ve done a science fair project with concrete. The concrete being that runny and wet when you mixed it will not ruin it. It’ll just take a little longer to cure. That’s it. Other than that it shouldn’t matter too much, especially with the sort of application you are using it for.
U can use a traffic cone and use more of the small pvc and just shove the pvc though the cone
You should use old Christmas trees as structure for your pond that’s what my friend uses and fish really hold up on it
Then you can mark it by uses old propane tanks and buoys so you know where they are at
I love your fishing
"How do people do this" As that dude walked by with a bunch, LOL
Use the white bouyoys from the marine isle at walmart as floats. Beach ball work too.
Nice vid! I might use this idea for my own pond
Just takes longer to dry if there is more than the stated water in the concrete. I don't think it hurts it at all though, so your good.
christmas trees need a star on top.....
Use the cheap plastic pots for plants for fish structure base. Just tape off the drain holes.
Full send!
You should zip tie leaves and twigs to the black tubing
Nice video. I like the trap and structure idea
To mix the concrete you can use a certain drill bits
Dude. Sick sandals
