    Combine both ponds just make a lil channel where they can move from pond to pond.That would be sick!!!

    3/8oz slip weight, snap swivel, and treble hook armed with chicken liver works wonders on pond cats. Poke the eye and shank thru the center of liver chunk and direct connect to swivel.

    Ben I am not a great fan of using gypsum it completely changes the water quality for me I would stick in a couple of bales of organic barley straw

      Cat fish eat bass eggs off beds, and all of those other fish compete with bass for food. Bass would basically die out sadly

    You might try one of those castable sonar pods that connect to your phone to check out how the population is doing. they aren't expensive and might be a better first option than a one way path to changing the fish habitat

    I would research the use of the gypsum more. I know when it's wet it's like a clay texture & it may kill off your vegetation. I can see the snapper killing the fish especially when they were small. To clear your pond maybe make a waterfall so that the water will go over rocks to clean it like a coy pond.

    Your backyard is like heaven. I don’t think I’d spend much time trying to catch those catfish when you got huge aggressive bass a few feet away. You get to fish those Texas lakes for huge studs in the teens and then when you’re home you can just go out in the backyard and catch giant bass on topwater or however you want to catch them that day. You’re living the dream Ben!!

  • @jamesmccellon7885
    @jamesmccellon7885 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If the smaller pond is only 5' deep, you should add an aerator. Texas summers can be rough on small shallow ponds. Get some water moving and more oxygen. An aerator will also help clear the water strangely enough. We gained a foot of visibility by adding two aerators to our pond and our fish are thriving now. You just have to wean them onto it tho. If you just put one in full blast and leave it on, your pond will turn over and the fish will die. Start at 30 min a day and work your way up. Your fish will thank you and your pond overall will be healthier. It helps the gunk at the bottom decay faster and makes it cleaner. Look up the benefits

    I don't know if this is even actually feasible but would you consider digging out the section between the two ponds and combing them for a bigger body of water for your fish to grow in? Might be a lot of fun if there's enough water for them!

    @FoxTenson 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Asked a cousin who is in fisheries and a response was if you put any big blue or flatheads in that pond with the rest the chances are that big catfish is the reason the fish levels are low. A few large blues or especially flatheads can clean out a pond as its hard to support them due to how much they eat. They eat other catfish too! You might have a big one in there chomping all your small ones. Its a common problem in farm ponds where people try to stock big flatheads in the midwest, apparently.

  • @carbonatedmoose7872

  • @mikehutch5921

    The chartreuse color is actually in the dirt. If you drop some in the water the water will turn green. The crawlers eat it and it gives them the color.

    You should dig a deep canal style ditch to add something a little different to the pond to see how the fish would react it would be a cool learning experience an maybe some fun up close an personal big fish 🎣🎣and if your think big an crazy same idea with the canal but at a pump an one end and make it where you can add current to the canal whenever you want to see how they react
