      The same thing happened for me too! I still remember the first video I ever saw it was Lojo, Norm and Ayo wearing the floating shoes from Ali Babba I think that’s where they came from . I watched every video from all 3 guys then found the Googan Squad channel. I’ve learned a lot and have been entertained for sure!

    I’d work on planting some trees that will survive on the waters edge so they can grow and shade the pond. Maybe it won’t get so hot in the summer.

  • @dragon-lu3mk
    @dragon-lu3mk Před 10 měsíci +29

    you might think about adding some cattails &/or reeds to one side of the pond, it'll give cover for fry to hide & grow. pond lillies would work too if they'll survive up there. with the plants come aquatic insects giving the small fish more food and breeding spots. another thing would be to sink a few old tires filled with gravel to help the bream spawning. just an idea. good luck & keep up the good work!!

    I think you should add a floating fountain/aerator or 2 with lights. Beautiful look at night and extremely functional for the health of the pond also.
    Also, add some more structure for the bait fish to survive and breed. Add a load of pea gravel around the banks for the perch to be able to spawn easier also.

  • @samuelgarrod8327
    @samuelgarrod8327 Před 10 měsíci +96

    It's all very well putting a ton of baitfish in but if they don't have enough to eat they won't breed and subsequently the bass won't get enough to eat. It's not called a food chain for nothing.

    maybe build a msall dock that it self is cover for all kinds of fish plus it gives you something to reach further out to the middle . maybe add some big catfish as well but for now the pond looks so much better with the boats out . at least the new fish will have a few days maybe to get use to there new home before the big boys go hunting for the little ones to eat , cant wait to see the micro pond again and how it is holding up , later lojo awesome restock .

  • @zacharylong3910
    @zacharylong3910 Před 10 měsíci +2

    I'm going to give some advice. Take it as you will. Stocking in the peak of summer is the worst time to stock. It doesn't give your bait fish anytime to reproduce and 50 to 75% will die off. Stock in the fall when the water is really cold so they don't die or all getting eating and then in the spring time stock again before the water temp reaches 60° and flathead minnows are the best because they don't spot reproduceing.

    @theMaDNesS201 Před 10 měsíci +1

    yo man, so here is something you don't wanna hear, and I really hate to be the one to suggest it, but with as crowded as your pond is, and the limited amount of existing bait you may need to drain your pond completely, this would allow you to do a few things, first off if you wanted to changed the foot print or size of it you could then, secondly get all the catfish out and put them down in the swamp, speaking of the swamp it would allow you to finally dam up a portion of that for catfish or other things to act as a full on secondary pond, thirdly it would allow you the chance to get in and change the topography and brush situation of the entire pond and truly get to know the shelves and piles or even hides that your future fish will use. And lastly it will allow you to fully stock the pond the way it kinda needs to be stocked, both with bait and predatory fish. Letting the bait fish have a full year to establish and adding shallow areas for them to hide from the predators, and letting you pick the full first generation of bass to go into the pond allowing them to get to that true giant stage that you want. Without enough bait the fish will always be semi stunted and slow growing, and as you even posted in this video bass need about 10lbs of food to gain just 1 pound, so even adding 3000 bait fish wont really last all that long. i could mock up a few ideas if you're interested

I've seen in our lake here in central Tx using depthfinder to find the depth of the thermocline be as deep as 15 to 22 feet. I wouldn't be surprised as hot as this summer has been it being deeper .

    Good ponds, just like a nice yard, don't just happen - they take some work.
    I've always been a fan of 'eaters-over-trophies' for my ponds. I'll tend to have a massive population of smaller species like your bluegills and crappies with just a few large predators. I'm just lucky that here in Oz our preferred freshwater trophies are species like barramundi, which also taste great. So I can have a pond full of fun to catch & cook pan-sized perch that also supply food for a predator that can reach 5 feet in length. In a pond the size of yours, I'd stock about 30-50 barramundi about 6-10 inches long (6 months old) and within another year they'll be 20 inches long and about 6-8 pounds without supplementary feeding.
    Look into a solar-powered aerator, fountain or paddle wheel for oxygenation of the water. It'd probably be best over toward where the spring feeds in. As temperature rises, dissovled oxygen content drops. The best way to add disolved oxygen is through surface agitation.
