FHM will spawn on the undersides of items floating although this is not the preferred habitat and will not result in the most production.

The bay, pocket, hernia or bulge in the side of the pond will tend to collect excess "trash items" and organics. It will not get good water circulation or mixing from wave action and accumulated organics and decomposition in this area will be poor compared to the more exposed sections / shorelines of the pond.

Pallets can fairly easily be drug out of the pond using a small tractor or pickup truck prior to seining.
