This is why almost everytime I am at my pond I put my chest waiters on and radomly do some walking around in about 4 to 5 foot of water and less. You got to break that up some and get things working. Course I wouldn't do it to much to quick as you could hurt your fish I suppose. That's why you need to be real careful when starting up your air system each spring or a new system in general. I have heard of a few guys going out in there boat and draging a garden rake on a rope behind them just to break up the first couple of inches of muck so your air system can get to work cleaning it up better. Not sure if that actually helps??? I would think it would as you break that muck up it will decompose better. Just like esshup said like swiming in the same spot in your pond for a few weeks and all of a sudden you got nice clean sand!

P.S. I hope your system is working good for you!

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!!
