    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

    I agree with @Jeremiah Kelly, please make the ponds connect might make a great environment for the fish and then you have a big variety to fish for in one spot

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

    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.

    For summer months with alot of catfish and those larger bass might want to think of fountains or aerators in ponds as temps rise there will be less oxygen in ponds need all the oxygen they can get

    I also like how your feeding machine spits out the feed at one side and all the feed goes into the water and feed your fish that is pretty neat

    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

  • @kennethnovak9102
    @kennethnovak9102 Před 2 lety +5

    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.

    I grew up fishing a double pond kind of like yours but idk if that's like a dam between the 2 but thats how ours were and grew up fishing those ponds from mabey 3 or 4 yrs old till my late 20s n my gpa passed away and sold the ponds and the land and he had built a cool ass cabin on In too. Some of the best memories of my life brother. Your boys will never forget this trust me. Keep it up. Outstanding man..🤙😁✊✌

  • @baitcasterdisaster8981

    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!!

    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

  • @jamesmccellon7885
    @jamesmccellon7885 Před rokem +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

  • @randygoober5909
    @randygoober5909 Před 2 lety +1

    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!
