Put some finishing touches on the dock this weekend with the brick walkway up out of the soupy grass and a lantern pole!  
The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!

Hey Chris hows it going bud. Thanks on the dock it's been a long time coming!! I love it! The family loves it and we all can fish quite easy on it.
I sooo want to run of the end and do a big ole cannon ball!! No one has yet to swim in my pond. I think everyone is afraid of catching something.... lol. I may just have to break it in... hehe

Fantastic, RC! You have got to be really pleased with the finished product and feel a great sense of accomplishment! Go for it on the cannonball. If you "catch something", at least we'll remember your exploits here fondly!

I don't know if "jealous" is quite right, but let's at least say that I am envious of your place to hang at the pond...One of these days...
Fish on!, Noel

Hey Eric thanks my bloom has been good this year. I have not had any chara on the bottom of my pond yet... I literally was using a Texas rigged worm the other night and not picking up anything!! I couldn't believe it!!

That is nice! I should do that on my dock end, a nice sitting area. We just purchased some nice white cedar Adirondack chairs, and they would look great on the dock end!

Oh yeah it's great having that deck/dock lol. The deck area is 10x12 and we love it! Just right for a couple chairs and a small table... If you did it you would NOT regret it that's for sure!! We almost went 8x10 on the deck and I am so glad we decided to go a little bigger.... As bretski would say I got 2 foot ightis... lol

Hey Charles thanks!
The barrel is a 30 gallon barrel we cut in half drilled a bunch of holes in it and put the lid back on top for bait fish and Bluegill or Bass we want to keep to clean later that day or the next day. It works pretty good and have not had any dead fish in it yet. We decided to use the barrel being plastic as it will never rust or fall apart on us.
