Love your videos
Glad you didn’t cut any corners
Excited, got the BeefCake App with notifications kept me in the know to order before sell out. Wishing you all continued success!
Just ordered my new 4 hot n spicy jerkies
Add tubing to the bottom of the pond
If this doesn’t work i blame you guys
Well we told you to do it the other way.
Flair your amazing
Did you check the backside of the Damn before filling to see if that seepage was from the pond or just ground water.
XD gathorer you put ice in your milk don’t you?
It’s gonna work yall overthinking it
Lay some cement culverts in the deepest area, scattered out for catfish and others to use. Put piles of rock/cement chunks along with boulders throughout the pond at different depths and use chunk rock down the entire slope of the dam. Add artificial and/or natural brush, trees and plants near shallow areas.
Real trees would be better. The old ways work best. Because they still exist today because of it. ❤
To prevent erosion you need to run a 40' or 60' stretch of blue tarp under the water pipe down to the lowest section of the pond, tie two ropes to each end and buoy's to the other end of the ropes. When the water gets to the level of the inlet you can pull the tarp and not have any issues with erosion.
Also, if you want to map your pond then Drone Deploy is the best app. You can use your DJI, fly the mission, and it will create a topographic layout for you. 10/10 recommend the software, and they may sponsor you if you were to use their product.
I was gonna mention that as well about the water source. But I was gonna say atleast run a hose to the lowest point until the water level gets up to the source.
All he needs to do is get some large culvert pipe and link it up all the way down to the bottom and maybe put some large holes here and there in it on the top of the piping. Kinda like a big water slide you see at water parks. He could just split the pipes too and do that.
Rocks will do the same thing but be natural
@@donnyroberts4248 Actually erosion will still happen that way. There will be erosion no matter what. You want to find the best way to spread out the water flow rather than focus in one place. The rocks will also sink and slide. Flair already found that out once. Its better to diffuse with fountains and diffusers to be honest but the culvert option could also double as tunneling for fish as long as it stays sunken when the pond is full. The plastic culvert is not my favorite option but many pond builders use it.
I liked to make stone lean-tos and underpasses. Little fish caves too. That is a different topic but yeah...a cement culvert canal would be ideal but he did not go thick enough with the clay to support the weight of it. He could use unilocks or brick though...those are light enough.
Great advice!! Hope they follow it!!!
One critical thing to remember is to make sure that you set up your water input so that it will not erode your bank. The way you did it last time caused a lot of erosion and will wash away the good work and waste your money. Think this one through to find a good solution. Bama Bass has his water rising up from the deep part of his pond. Maybe run hose down to the deepest part with some kind of diffuser, at least until the water fills up over your south ledge. Those are my thoughts, but I'm not a pond expert (yet). Seek professional opinions regarding this. We want this to be a success for you! 🙂
That's how my Grandfather had his. I wrote that in the last pond episode
Your pond is coming along nicely Andrew. Personally with the ponds we built on my land years ago, we cut a big tree down and sunk it right in the middle of our deepest parts so the Big Flatheads and Blues would have plenty of shade and a place to ambush the other fish in the ponds. It's worked out great for many years now. Best of luck of whatever you decide.
I would recommend some kind of big pipe at the bottom Of the pond For catfish den's. Take some rocks and pile them up around the pipes.
Exactly what I was coming here to say. Great idea!
Yes I definitely agree with that too. Or make some type of bigger rock structures, similar to the pipe you said, so they have enough space to swim under it and chill out at
Gravel bottom for some walleyes and perch, then a couple pipes for catfish so they arent rooting in the muck. Also 2 to 4 grass carps to manage the plant growth in the shallows. And if you want some small fighter fish that taste good, gravel around the inflow, and add some brookies. Also don't forget to try and plant some millet and smart weed along the 3 foot up range to draw in the ducks
This dude lives every man’s dream I swear
For real that’s what I dream of I don’t know about everybody else
same@@Deer15av20ery
That's what money does for you
Yes
That is a fucking fact!! I could only dream
Make sure to install a water fountain system somewhere in your backyard pond so that it will help to produce oxygen and control algae growth. As far as structure, I'd put a large drainage pipe on the bottom to give your catfish and Predatory fish a place to hang out and feel more comfortable. Go by any bass pro shop and check out their aquarium for ideas.
Everytime I click my subscriptions, Flair is always the first one I look for a new video. Can’t wait to see this pond filling with water!
You could put a junk sunkin boat in the deep area. Kinda like a Deepwater structure for the catfish. Maybe ask Hannah and Jeff Barron to come out and build you some catfish boxes in the shallow areas
I like the idea of putting structure types at the depth changes ( rocks, stumps, brush, etc. ) but I would love to see a mix of natural structure & manmade ( pvc / fish attractors ) and see which ones the fish prefer
what would also be really cool is to see cars on the very bottom of the pond. also I like rocks but every time I go fishing I aways get a lures stuck.
I would also like to see a car or two at the deepest point the catfish would love that
@@JamisonCurtisI thought a car and a boat
@@michael.demello12 yeah a boat would also be really cool.
Glad you decided to fix the pond correctly! Put real structure in the pond like trees and rocks or concrete! I like the idea of pea gravel on the bedding bench!
Don't forget about adding a shit load of live aquatic plants to help take the nitrates out of the water in order to create a healthy and balanced/cycled eco system
Some live plant's roots could possibly pierce the clay/bentonite layer and cause leaks. Bama Bass mentioned that people advised him against planting his pond.
Can't put plants in it
If you layer a dirt mound on top of the base layers you can plant that 1 it’ll add shape to the bowl and allow you to plant
Roots poke holes in clay layer
@@mikebullard9940 hence why you build a dirt mound 1 helps eliminate the bowl look and adds contouring to the pond. 2 a 4,6 foot dirt mound will be deep enough your roots won’t imbed into the clay
Gotta give you props for actually making the right decision and doing the pond right by adding the extra stuff to make sure its sealed
Being 18' deep I like idea of using whole trees and putting the top on the deep end. 5 or 6 tops and your habitat is done. Love from Bama
His liner is not as thick as BamaBass's so smaller trees are suggested. If there is sinkage the branches could eventually puncture the clay liner. He could make some clay mounds to lay them on though and just cut off the branches on one side of the trees.
Idk Bamabass didn't have the second layer of clay either. That would be the main fear though
I'm worried about the erosion that will come from the pipe when they fill it
@@tjbullock4818 There will be erosion either way. You want to do it in a way that causes the least amount of it.
When I did exotic enclosures that had big ponds we ran lines that aimed up with piles of gravel and stone around it to displace the water and spread it out as it lands.
Diffusers/fountain head we used as well but it really depends on contract ed budgets and what the contractors wanted.
Hopefully Flair looks into erosion control for sure.
@@tjbullock4818 Bamas' pond had thicker layers of clay so his was a bit better.
Pull some of those old cars out of the creek and use them as structure in the deep. Works for catfish amd cleans up the property a bit.
Do some cinder block cone structures
Some sort of brush down deep because we all know there’s going to be crappie in there for ice fishing
Flairs just like “cash or check “ when buddy ask for $100000😂
I think putting more clay to protect betonite so that any structure you put in the pond doesn't puncture through the betonite.Always great content from you & the guys!
Flair may not be pregnant but he always delivers.
Underrated comment bro 😂
😂😂
He looks pregnant
@@amintiri2503 this is not needed not funny
@@amintiri2503 your mom looks pregnant 🤰 😳
You can do some man made structures like wood cribs/boxes catfish love them and so do crappie I definitely recommend some live plants but don’t go crazy with them. Maybe next to the boat ramp add a dirt plateau on top of the clap to plant in the sunken trees is an awesome idea. And you should do some big boulder structures as well as some medium sized rocks. The big boulders work well for your medium large bass/gills to maneuver and hide while the medium small rocks allow your small spawns to get away from predatory fish allowing them to get large enough to not be killed. No matter what you do this pond will be stellar and I can’t wait to see the end result
Always a good start to spring break with a flair video pond update
We didn't have a spring break when I was in school. We had Friday and Monday off for Easter and also went to school up until the day before Christmas Eve
It was nice getting out of school in May rather than halfway into June.
Flair you really should get Brad The Builder to Build you a Cabin/Boat Dock so it looks really nice and is done right. If it was me I’d put both artificial and natural structure in the Pond.I definitely would put trees in the center of the Pond.
Glad to see the pond is finally coming together! Can’t wait to see the fish caught and the birds floating belly up on the water
For the 14-18 feet, integrate a hump/ledge with some big boulders for winter time fishing. Bass will stick around the ledges.
If you're thinking of adding big cats in the future, you may want to place a couple of large culvert pipes as hides around the pond to prevent them from digging.
He doesn’t think about things like that unfortunately.
👍
Gotta put one of the junk cars you found at the bottom. The big kitty cats need one🤣
Pond gonna be sweet Definitely have to do the underwater drone once everything in so you can show the brush and rock piles , Love the vids Flair
Add manmade catfish noodling holes to the pond
It’s always a good day when flair uploads
For the deep spot you should have a small little rock hump for the bass to sit on the sides on and maby put a little brush pile in the middle of the hump
Let’s get Flair’s video to 10k + likes to help fund the pond!
Seed that whole pond basin with 60% rye grass and 40% buck oats to super charge the forage base for your fish! It’ll also help with soil erosion. 3 to 5 tons of Ag lime per acre helps so the water is good for the fish. 18-36 inches with a secki disc is ideal clarity
Even though it is expensive- I like when you do the right thing.
The ranch, the ranch cabin, the house…
If you think about it it’ll pay itself off with the content he can create and will probably increase his property value. Was thinking like dang it’s hella money but worth it in the end.
Use tree trunks and stand them straight up in the middle deep part to simulate standing timber, good cover for a variety of fish
get your boat ramp concrete poured and the bases for your dock
Put big boulders in the bottom trust me, my dad is a fishing guide. And we catch big catfish, and Croppie in the boulders
Have a concrete boat ramp put in so u dont always make the water cloudy and get trucks and trailers so muddy
Also a 100% aluminum cars/trucks and a few boats for structures
I'd take the recycled concrete as a base and get big limestone ledges and pile them towards the edge in couple places where you can stand out and fish from. I'd check but get some aquatic plants.
Put a rock pile at 18’ for some walleyes!
Yes!! Walleye
And some pallet cribs for crappie
You should put something around it to slow down rain water. because without grass the rain water will erode your ponds clay layer as it comes down the hill.
Is it a pond or a lake? Hmm......a great conversation starter at dinner.
There is no scientific difference or definitive difference between a pond or lake they are decided by arbitrary size requirements that are based on the region you're in, a lake in New York for example might be a pond in Minnesota
Definitely need to do a lot of artificial or real rock formations to make caves and structure for catfish and the big bass that love to live deep. Maybe a tree cabled to cinderblocks along the bottom at the 18-14ft spot, random clay pots all over the bottom so crawfish can hide in them I stead of burrows. Also provides bass a good cold water winter feed. Those big black industrial tubes that are like 2 ft wide, hook them up to some eight and out deep water tunnels for the catfish, there’s a lot of Stucture you can do in the very bottom just make sure you add weight so it will stay
We need some bow fishing videos at night with a bow dismissing boat or from shore with a shot ton of lights
Fr Miss the old bow fishing videos or bull frog hunting
Just make sure you tie down the trees and shrubs with cinder blocks so it doesn't float. But I wouldn't put too much stuff in the pond because of algae that will grow, and it could make it harder to keep it under control.
I clicked this quicker then my dad left
Glad I’m not the only one! 😂
Lol
Fr🤣
😂😂😂😂
For sorry if true though
My only thoughts on the layout of the brush and rocks is that nature is not perfectly consistent in this case. Some rocky areas and cover are good, but maybe concentrate them more in specific places to encourage fish to congregate where they prefer and you know where to look for any one species, as well as add a little bit of each everywhere to simulate nature. Every lake and pond has a "honey hole" for a specific species where they like to stay.
Hey flair you’re making my life easy. You make me feel better when ever you post. I’ve been living in the hospital for 2 months now and I don’t know how much longer I have thanks for making my life better. 😢❤️
what happend to u care to share? i get it if you dont though i hope you heal
Prayers for healing!
@@ethanniska I got hit by a truck that ran a red light and I spun out right into a light post. They plan for me to be here for a bit but life is life. I have a fractured skull and both my legs are broken.
🥲😢@@redsturdy5899 i hope you make a full recovery
This pond is now turning out to be perfect. Would love to see pike/muskys in the big pond!
People who got jerky already
👇
Make trees out of PVC pipe and weigh them down in the pond. Makes great place for fish and won't hang up as bad and last forever pretty well. Put weighted plastic barrels for catfish to nest in in the bottom.
Always a good day when Flair posts
This Sunday Flair pond video is the perfect finish to the weekend! 🙂
If you are considering adding trout, installing a couple aerator pumps (especially around the center where the water is the deepest/coldest) wouldn’t be a bad idea
I feel like some structures in the center down deep would be really needed for winter, that way everything can hide down deep
For the deep middle part do a bunch of gravel with large rocks/boulders some of the PVC structure and try to imitate a “mudline” also I’d love to see some walleye in there as that’s the number 1 fish I catch in Michigan
I’d do PVC trees. It won’t rot away. Won’t discolor water from extra loose dirt. And works great for sight fishing in the einter
Now you can add the professionally done pond to your property list. Value of your property just went up. Cant wait to see the filling episode
ill say it, that jerky ad at the beginning was one straight cut and had zero stutters, this man is a professional
Trees are going to introduce a lot of natural tannins which are really good for an environment. The only trade is you will have brown darker nutrient rich water
Would definitely recommend putting a larger rock bed under/around the water inlet pipe so you don’t erode away the clay and Bentonite defeating the whole purpose of what you just did
You should put a tarp under the inflow to prevent erosion then Posibly put a large crib or tree on it do the fis have a spot to hide along with fresh cold water in the summer
I think it will work! I hope it will work! As long as the trucks spreading the last clay layer did not disturb the bentonite too much, it should be OK! 🙂
In the bottom, put large rocks and some drainage tubes for catfish holes. Use more natural tree piles,but also try pvc ones. Maybe even tie 3 tunes together and place a couple throughout. Are you going to put any natural grass or lily pads?
You need to put like a Jason statue at the bottom before you fill it up or just any kind of Easter egg type thing. Or you could put a treasure chest with beefcake jerky in it and make it air tight
I used to run a directional drill rig that would bore pipe under roads and driveways, etc. and we would add bags of bentonite to the to the water that we used to drill with, it was used to seal the bore hole and not let loose material fall into the hole. The best I can remember is when it dried it was almost like a soft concrete if that makes sense. Good luck!
Big Junior need another Beer 🍻, grabbing one with him .. 😜
Id go with big cedar tree or two layed down in the bottom for the fish to stage on in the winter
Omg flair you deffineatly must stock this pond with some monster pike!!!
Put some stumps in for staging areas near the spawning beds
Feel like a mixture of both natural and some artificial as well as mixing stuff between shallow to deep. Some shallow bigger rocks and gravel will be good for bluegills but early spring those shallow rocks will warm up quicker allowing other stuff for the fish. Some deep big boulders in the middle with a few thick logs for some big cats or big bass to go hang around. Make options available to choose
Put fish cribs in the deep area. Essentially, just some pallets screwed together to make a cube with an open top. Panfish will hold to that like crazy. We have them all over in public lakes here in WI.
leeettttssss goooooooooo so excited for this seris and to watch the growth of this pond/small lake
Well gotta start making more orders of jerky I want to see banjo skinny dipp 😂
Now that you have the bentonite in you do not want to punchure that layer. You could create a leak. Also catfish Burrow, not good for artificial ponds.
You can always add more structure. Butttt do you have a valved Tee in the well supply line to continue to fill the hatchery if needed?
On the 14-18ft you should find a old big wide tree and take it's root wad and flip it upside down
might be a bit late to make suggestions, but i would put in some decent sized boulders, and maybe some hallow logs, at the very bottom of the pond, weigh down the logs with the boulders, and just get a bunch of random misc structures going surround it with aquatic plants... idk much about ponds or anything, but the more places for fish to hide/survive/thrive the better i would imagine. at first it might be slow going, but the longer ur pond is running, and the longer u got life going in it, the more the fish/life will adapt to it.
I'd add fresh water grass and hornwort, Java Moss, or Water Wisteria (grass that produces natural oxygen) as well as some floating (very lil) plants as they (the fish and young spawn) might want some cover while in the middle of the pond. Just to feel secure and thrive. That all can go at the bottom/top water towards the middle. Also add blue natural pond dye for visibility.
Definitely would put some big Boulder or slab rock piles in the bottom of the pond if your planning on adding catfish. Give them something to set up in instead of a flat clay bottom
It would be cool if there was a pond light in the deep part of the pond
I would love to see you.Put some rainbow trout in your pond
Maybe clean an old boat Hull and put it at the bottom fish the boat from a boat for fish 😂
You should try and add a couple of muskies to the pond! Since you have the cold water source and deep water they should survive just fine! But that would be unique to the pond! Definitely being a fish of a lifetime!
Use those old gutted cars down in the woods and pile them in the depth's for cover. I'd do a mix of artificial and natural structures. We basically cleaned our land out from a few old gutted cars, appliances, large pipes, stumps, deadfalls, etc. and used for structure in our lake. We also got old lumber and concrete from job sites and built a few structures. It's been 20 years and the pond thrived from day one.
You should plans some cattails around some of the perimeter of the pond as well as a small section of artificial lilly pads for come above water cover.
Loven the progress of the pond. Put some old junk cars in that deep end and charge people to scuba dive down there to see it...sale tickets. See U on your next update video. Cheers !👀👀😮😮😮😮😮
Add some large pipes or barrels in the deep part for large catfish
Run a pipe to the center of the pond and have the end of the pipe in a five gallon bucket and as the bucket overflows it’ll fill up the pond and not erode the clay blanket
My grandfather did this and taught me about the idea behind it
You should tie a duck decoy to each pile of structure to mark them
Flair you should put a few large boulders in the bottom of the 18 foot deep part, and last a couple logs on the bottom where it's deep and maybe a brush pile as well, places for catfish to burrow into, just a thought 🤔
Our favorite is to add a huge brush pile in the middle. If the spot is 14' we shoot for about a 12' brush pile. Also be sure to only add hard woods. Hedge, Locust, Walnut, Cherry, Oak. No junk trees like cottenwoods
@FLAIR. If you have any of the BET KN left put some clay then BET KN then another layer of clay then pack it down, after that add some water and leave it for a week and see if the water makes it through
Dont forget to extend ur well water outlet the bottom of the bong so it doesnt corrode the side of the pond. It will take the clay and bentonite and wash it down the bottom of the pond. Cant wait to see everythin done and see what u guys do emd up stockin in it
Lilly Pads and lots of natural cover and what you've said would be amazing.. It's going to work amazing don't worry
Bentonite is definitely a smart choice I use it daily at work it doesn’t so much swell but creates a hydrophobic film over everything holding the water in the pond
What about putting the feeder in the middle and put like four of them on each side?
If it holds the water,being deep is a big plus to your & the fishes advantages,it gives them a more realistic environment to utilize & pick & choose from as need requires. Like a place that is still cool in a heat wave.
That little girl in the background when you’re telling us about the jerky is so cute❤❤
