Pond Boss Forums AERATION Should I aerate? Newbie Question about Aeration?

We have the weighted bucket our airstone is secured in tied to a rope with a Pintail hen decoy for a marker float, which lets us move it from the canoe. The inlet filter for our cattle watering line is tied to opposite shores by long lines, which lets us move it from the shore. If I only had one artifact in that region of the pond (they are fairly close) I would use both methods so it could be moved either way.

Either shoreline or boat placement is better than how I placed the airstone originally - swimming in October. I thought the water was cold until I got out (55 deg air temp & strong wind).
