My farmer is gonna get me about 14 more tractor tires I might tie together in groups of 3. Any idea how to punch holes into them so fish can swim in and out? I assume holes about the size of a softball would be best?
Also for spawning areas. I guess I will have to read up on that. I had an old pond where I grew up that me and my friends used to fish where the bass literally spawned right next to the bank cause we used to just drop in live bream as bait and they would inhale them right away. But 90% of the entire edge was ringed with weeds with so maybe thats why they picked those spots. They were easily sight fished as there was usually enough break in the weeds to drop in either a live bait or a jig. Also you could easily walk across the pond at any part so it wasnt very deep. Had a friend nab an 8 pounder doing that when he dropped a bream into a bed next to a fallen tree that went out about 5 feet into the water. Seems she didnt like mr bream swimming around there.
Loved that pond but no one took care of it and eventually algea took over and it became unfishable. Also I dont think anything fed it because when we moved away I swear no part of it was deeper than 1-2 feet. Shame too because there were some monsters in there as no one would keep anything and it was all catch and release.
Almost finished with Day 2. So much for ever using this deer stand again.
