It’s going to be so exciting to see the fish go in! I hope y’all are going to share that with us! It’s all going faster than I thought it would. Thank god for all that rain.
Hi,the drone footage is great over you all's Lake.The grass is coming up and takes time to fully sprout all over.You can teach Wanda how to cast with her new fishing pole.It will come natural after awhile Wanda.The pier looks real nice.Enjoy you two.Love,Pia&Family.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.........
TY for the aerial view! Goodness it’s so huge! Watching you cast that line, no doubt that you are an expert fisherman. Growing up fishing with my dad, fishing for blue gill was my favorite because being a little kid sitting and staring at a bobber for hours on end was torture 😂. But when it came dinner time catfish was the best!
What a great video Danny and Wanda, It's about to happen and so excited for you two, the end was cute looked like you were really fishing, God Bless Always!
Loving these pond building videos. It will be neat to see you two sitting side by side on the pier betting whose going to catch the first fish. hahaha. Have a Blessed day,
Good morning from Oregon! I am so excited for you. That pond is already such a source of pleasure for you. I can hardly wait myself for it to get filled!
Awesome job on the pond you guys! We have one that's covers over 1 1/2 acres. Built back in the early 1930's. Our farm was a cattle farm for many many years. The pond was used to fill several big round concrete watering troughs scattered around the vicinity. The troughs are still operational but we don't have cattle. My wife's uncle who was in his 70's told me that he used to fish in it back when he was a young boy. I have always loved to fish and the pond was a big priority for me. I bought bluegills, red ears, and catfish to stock it up with before we even started on building our house. We have been here 17 years now and I am about to turn 62. I still enjoy it as much as ever. It's a lot of work keeping it cleaned off around it but I don't mind. You just have to stay on top of it or it will quickly grow up around it. I hope you and Miss Wanda enjoy yours as much as we do. Take care and keep us all updated. Love your channel!
Paul Reid Yes our pond is still pretty grown up around on two sides now. I have been trying to keep one side and the dam cleaned off. In fact I just mow that area when I mow a border around our pastures. When it gets cold and the snakes are gone I plan in trying to get it cleaned up all the way around. We also had a problem with beavers for awhile. They would dam up the overflow and I would have to keep tearing it down. But man they would have it all dammed up again sometimes the next day. During a dry spell last year the water receded about 4 feet from the bank, leaving their huge hutch out of the water. It all caved in and we stopped seeing them. Keeping my fingers crossed on that one, lol
Nice looking dock! Be a great place to hang out! Would be nice if a little bit wider, but probably will be as it fills. Be nice if you could build a bank covered in sand on the side with the dock so kids can swim! The grass and trees look like a park on that other side. So exciting building a pond! Fun
Thankyou for this pond information.I have a small pond on my new property.I don't know how deep it is.Presently its overrun with water lilies.There are alot of frogs there too.It doesn't look like adding the lime bothered the frogs at your place
Learn something new I get in a boat and measure with a stick. You do great Miss Wanda filming all the time have a great weekend you two. May I ask a question ya going to add a top on the deck over the swing? My opinion I want one but that's ya decision.
Albino catfish will look good in your new lake. Don't worry about all the rain heading your way for the fish must be installed by September. Many changes will be arriving in a little over a month. You might make sure you have plenty of seeds as well.
Hi guys just checking in, ponds filling up more slowly than before, nice to see the grass is comming in. Good the pH is comming up too. Seems I blink and you have something new, how's the front pond comming? Much love from So.Cal.💟
Hi. Maybe get some mosquito fish before it becomes a big breeding pond for those critters. Looking great. You need an aerator maybe. Peace to you and yours
Danny just a suggestion, I got in contact with septic solutions and they have a pond aeration system that truly helped with my pond in keeping my pond clear and my fish active as well as no fish kills in the heat
Haven't read the comments yet. But, I just want to say. I have TERRIBLE balance. You guys are a "little" older than me. PLEASE put some rails on the sides of the pier. Y'all are scaring me. LOL It looks SO pretty!
I remember Wanda telling me once about this "pond" that hadn't happened and how you hadn't fished in so long. I can't wait to see you fishing. My husband is a type A personality. One of the few times I've seen him relax is fishing. I think Danny needs this. So glad to see it finally happen. Wanda is going to have you more years because you did this. It's so cool to hear the excitement in your voice when you talk about it.
Wanda and Danny as someone who is much older and also someone who has fished all his life you need to leave some of the trees as structure for them to hide in. Are you putting in bluegill and bass only? You are going to put in catfish you will need some type of shiners as catfish will eat all of your bream.
I wonder if you pour some lime in the main water stream along entrance to the pond so it’s mixed in the water going and on the angles to get a whirl effect that might have a little current to help mix it so you don’t throw your back out swinging the shovel on muddy areas. Sorry just made me nervous. After I found out you guys are injured or well worn for hard work. Sorry I’m not trying to be a hoverer I just thought I’d give an idea as a friend.
That opening shot of the overhead view of the pond truly gives a person an idea of the size of it. Danny are you sure you just didn't want to go fishing when you did the depth test?? As hard as it is you are doing the right thing by waiting to put fish in. The saddest thing would be to come out one morning and see the fish dead near the shore of the pond.
Wondering why not buy a jungle hammock for the deck??? or buy mosquito netting & install at the 4 corners post like a canopy. You could put it on a track & then pull it around to inclose the deck when needed?? That is what I would do!
Did Mr. Danny mention the cost of his new pond? Here in Ohio it would be around 4 to $ 5.000 To build a new pond. I don't know if if it would be worth the cost to have a few fish on hand.
hi you no if you put blue gill in your pond put some pee gravel in different spots around the pond because when they start to spawn they love to lay there eggs in gravel
Would you welcome crawfish/crawdads/crayfish to your pond? With all that lime they would not struggle to for shells. Also great to feed egg laying chickens after extract meat for human consumption.
John Liberty I’m sure there will naturally be crawfish in his pond we have them all over the place In south Mississippi! But it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go to the coast and get a 35 pound sack of crawfish for the pond once’s a year and dump some rock piles in different places around the pond for them to find and stay alive in and breed because huge bluegill, bass and catfish love the crawfish
@@DeepSouthHomestead Now the Bass have something to eat. Crawfish are so beneficial especially if something dies in that pond, they will eat up decaying meat.
🤔 to help keep the soil from keeping the water murky and lowering the ph you say want to put grass and clover seed around the lake. That will attract insects that bluegill like to eat. Put some limestone boulders and riprap in and around the lake and they hold fish by creating territories and breeding areas as well as slowly raise the Ph by acting as a buffer. I hope this is of some help. Good luck with your homestead , lake and channel.
Shouldn't there be vegetation growing in and around the pond(besides grass) before you put fish in for oxygenation purposes and to attract bugs? How long will it take for the water to clear up and not be so muddy? Just curious....
@@DeepSouthHomestead That's right if you have fish and minnows in it no way for mosquito's to breed fish will eat them and any bug that lands in the water
If you know someone with an ESTABLISHED tropical aquarium - Get them to siphon the gravel and throw the water in your pond. It will jump start the biological process. You can also get their dirty filters and rinse those in your pond.

The way you guys do things it is just so natural beautiful
You have a beautiful property! Thanks for sharing.
A beautiful job that man did you folks
The pond is doing great!
Congrats on your new waterfront property! 🙂
Very Nice ! It will look beautiful when it's all grassed in, so glad for you both, Y'all work hard & deserve it... living the dream.. love it !
To ask someone to measure your new pound .. they probably need a boat and a crew members to come over you did it with a fishing pole ! just great !
The reflection off the pond is great!
Beautiful scenery.
Cant wait to see the video of you putting fish in pond.
AND to see them fishing!
I could sit on the porch in that rain forever and be a happy girl. That’s my “happy place”!!
Great way of measuring the depth
How do you check the depth in a frog pond? Just listen to the frogs - knee deep ,knee deep , knee deep! Ha ha ha ! Have a great weekend everybody!!!
Wow! Stepping it up with the drone pics! Very nice!
Looking great.
I am amazed at how well designed that pond is. I true tribute to your skill and knowledge. God bless.
Sure am learning about ponds! Had no idea!
Looking forward to Goin' fishing....I mean finding out how deep the pond is from the boat! Ms Wanda, the mirror on the pond is absolutely stunning!
Looking good guys......a year from now it will be in full swing 😊
Oh wow I like the view. Good morning Danny and Wonda XOX ❤️🌹💕😊😇👏🙌🏼🔥.
It’s going to be so exciting to see the fish go in! I hope y’all are going to share that with us! It’s all going faster than I thought it would. Thank god for all that rain.
I just knew I would see a swing out on the pond deck. AWSOME!!😃👍🐟🐠

Enjoyed a few hours of y'all's videos today :)
that pond is so nice
I agree with the need for aeration in the pond Danny! BUT I bet you already know that.........LMBO!
Thankyou for this pond information.I have a small pond on my new property.I don't know how deep it is.Presently its overrun with water lilies.There are alot of frogs there too.It doesn't look like adding the lime bothered the frogs at your place

Yes
Minnows are a good idea. They are pretty resilient. Grab some from ditches, or bait shop they will help in the eco system creation.
Danny you are just having too much fun with Wanda's rod and reel...LOL....Larry @ Scoot's Organic
Danny you should have marked the post with paint before the water got to it and you would be able to see how far the water gets on your deck.
Looking nice.
That’s a clever way of gaging water depth 😊
Looking so good! Loving it!
Wanda you're like me you love those frogs🌺😊💓
Albino catfish will look good in your new lake. Don't worry about all the rain heading your way for the fish must be installed by September. Many changes will be arriving in a little over a month. You might make sure you have plenty of seeds as well.

Got more videos coming.
Some say he's still out there, casting and checking, always checking, checking for two feet of depth.
So cool, your brilliant 😁💝
Go ahead !wade out there. Good luck
Been waiting for this one.
I like it ......a lot
Hi. Maybe get some mosquito fish before it becomes a big breeding pond for those critters. Looking great. You need an aerator maybe. Peace to you and yours
Danny just a suggestion, I got in contact with septic solutions and they have a pond aeration system that truly helped with my pond in keeping my pond clear and my fish active as well as no fish kills in the heat

This pond is bass and bluegill only. The front pond will be bluegill and bream.
Yay Bahia grass germination!
The beginning images Looks like an orca tail going back into the water
You need to put bentonite in the water. It’s a base and it will pull all the dirty and mucky water down and clear the water as well as help the pH
I wonder if you pour some lime in the main water stream along entrance to the pond so it’s mixed in the water going and on the angles to get a whirl effect that might have a little current to help mix it so you don’t throw your back out swinging the shovel on muddy areas. Sorry just made me nervous. After I found out you guys are injured or well worn for hard work. Sorry I’m not trying to be a hoverer I just thought I’d give an idea as a friend.
Thanks for your concern.
So do you still have the natural spring filling it as well as the rain?
Yes.
That opening shot of the overhead view of the pond truly gives a person an idea of the size of it. Danny are you sure you just didn't want to go fishing when you did the depth test??

Pond is looking good !if it was me I’d wait a year before putting fish in just to have more vegetation and stuff for the fish
We will be waiting till it is right. We may stock some minnows so they can get started.
Look ya got a bite , lol
Did Mr. Danny mention the cost of his new pond? Here in Ohio it would be around 4 to $ 5.000 To build a new pond. I don't know if if it would be worth the cost to have a few fish on hand.
start with greenery now. be ready for fish without feeding to much. gonna be nice!
hi you no if you put blue gill in your pond put some pee gravel in different spots around the pond because when they start to spawn they love to lay there eggs in gravel
The upper end is all gravel.
looks like there is some erosion on some of the banks, will that settle in the bottom and make more mud in the bottom of the pond?
This is normal for a new pond.
Would you welcome crawfish/crawdads/crayfish to your pond? With all that lime they would not struggle to for shells. Also great to feed egg laying chickens after extract meat for human consumption.
John Liberty I’m sure there will naturally be crawfish in his pond we have them all over the place In south Mississippi!

It was full of crawfish when he was building it.
@@DeepSouthHomestead Oh Man, I forgot about the crawfish. Better put a crawfish boilin pit on your todo list. Yummmmy
@@DeepSouthHomestead Now the Bass have something to eat. Crawfish are so beneficial especially if something dies in that pond, they will eat up decaying meat.
After the pond is full how long before the water is not so muddy?
It will look muddy every time there is a heavy rain.
🏞 Fish survive just fine.
Till the edges get grassed in. It will always be a little muddy after a rain for a little while.
Are yall going to put an aerator fountain in?
We will wait and see if it needs one.
🤔 to help keep the soil from keeping the water murky and lowering the ph you say want to put grass and clover seed around the lake. That will attract insects that bluegill like to eat.
Put some limestone boulders and riprap in and around the lake and they hold fish by creating territories and breeding areas as well as slowly raise the Ph by acting as a buffer.
I hope this is of some help. Good luck with your homestead , lake and channel.
I mentioned that it's all been seeded in for grass.
Hey Danny is your pond about two acres?
Just around 1 1\2 acre
🥂 to dreams coming true💜
6 foot high and risin! I bet!
Looks like Willy Wonka's chocolate river.
I would plant some cattails around one spot in your pond
Shouldn't there be vegetation growing in and around the pond(besides grass) before you put fish in for oxygenation purposes and to attract bugs? How long will it take for the water to clear up and not be so muddy? Just curious....
Jomama 02 5:20 he mentions vegetation.
Jomama 02 he really don’t know how long it will take to clear up could’ve a month could be 3 months I’m pretty sure no one knows that one
It has all been seeded in. The grass is all coming up it's just tiny in a week or so we will show it again with the grass.
As the water sits, will it clear up?
Yes it will it's a new pond.
Is it possible to retrench the pond if it starts to fill in.
Yes.
you may have said, but what about mosquitoes. How can you keep them away?
Mosquitos only live in stagnant water. This is spring fed plus it will have fish in it.
@@DeepSouthHomestead That's right if you have fish and minnows in it no way for mosquito's to breed fish will eat them and any bug that lands in the water
I would of just walk in the pond with a measuring stick. I would also have the dock further into the water
We were going to but the water came up to fast. So we are going to add on later with a floating pier.
It will not take long to fill your ponds you should be able to stock them in late fall or spring
We are hoping to put bream in this fall and bass this spring.
what are you going air-rate with?
Friends drone.
The pond is going to change the whole ecosystem. Frogs, dragonflies, butterflies, wildlife in general , birds , turtles. Looking forward to fish 👍🏼
Are you going to be able to clean the water up a bit or is it going to always be that muddy?
It will clear up when the grass gets up.
If you know someone with an ESTABLISHED tropical aquarium - Get them to siphon the gravel and throw the water in your pond. It will jump start the biological process. You can also get their dirty filters and rinse those in your pond.
