      Top spotting thanks. We're lucky to have that spiky tall weed. We've noticed they prefer to make their nests high up over water.

    Great to see some rain finally.
    Look forward to the snakehead standing hook video.

      Cheers David. Yes it was getting a bit dry in places, which is bonkers for this time of year.
      Luckily, although the rain stopped during the recording the video, the runoff from next door continued for a couple of hours & now the canal is full.to the top once more.
      We're both looking forward to hunting those snakeheads.
      We've not done a nighttime standing hook video for over a year!

      Hey Toon and Leigh, great walk around and good to see that rain. It's not nice to wish the goats to be wet so much, but you can use the water. I remember how hard your grown is during the dryer season. I think that's when you really have to work the farm. Good thing you like it as much as you do. ❤

    hi mate, wondering about when you flood do you loose many yabbies from the pond?

    • @TLFarm
      @TLFarm  ปีที่แล้ว

      All good to date thanks mate. None have gone over the retaining wall. It's the reason we selected the nearest pond to the house to grow them.
      The land is higher there than any other pond.
      It's the main thing that the Fisheries Department of Thailand look at when they come out for an assessment.

      I wholeheartedly agree with you. It was a real driving force behind developing our canal so we could take advantage of any stormwater runoff from neighbouring farms.

      Yes you can get some pukka fishing umbrellas out here but they're a bit pricey!
      Happy to see you think the same as me about the waggler fishing.
      I do enjoy occasionally using the feeder & ball up in the water on a bung, but it gets tiresome easily for me.
      The waggler is my go to method so having a lake & species that suit it's approach is a match made in heaven to me.
      Now the poles aren't so much of an option (unless you fish super fine for the barbs) Toon has got into waggler fishing to.
