Now that I know where the problem is I am going to bring in some dirt and raise the bank to match the rest of the pond and finally install a over flow pipe with wire mess on it haha. praying none of my bass got out and left the pond. Anyone have a idea what bass do during a hurricane?

It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color. Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Dave I sure do hope so. now let see how the water holds from here on. If any thing its nice to have it all the way up, and im hoping spring showers will top it off again for the bass spawn
