So, I had to alternate regular with foam core to make sure it stayed on the bottom. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

I got one of the 12'x12' sections finished this weekend. I missed a few pics on this first build. I'll do better on the second build Attachments Last edited by BrianL; 11/06/17 01:13 PM. 1.8 acre pond with CNBG, RES, HSB, and LMB Trophy Hunter feeder.

BrianL B Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 887 Likes: 3 Paris, TX	Originally Posted By: Chris Steelman Looking good Brian. How many floats are you going with? 6 floats per 12x12, and one on each gangway. Five-3'x4'x16" and one-4'x4'x16" where gangway attaches Each gangway float is 2'x4'X20", having different height on gangway float worries me some, but that is what they suggested. I'll know this weekend. 1.8 acre pond with CNBG, RES, HSB, and LMB Trophy Hunter feeder.

I'll be getting a stand up auto feed screw gun before doing the other 3 decks! Squared up and two of the boards to bolt the floats too. Still have to put metal angle support on each runner. I'll try and finish that tonight. Attachments Last edited by BrianL; 11/06/17 12:59 PM. 1.8 acre pond with CNBG, RES, HSB, and LMB Trophy Hunter feeder.

BrianL B Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 887 Likes: 3 Paris, TX	Thanks. It has really turned out to be pretty functional for us. With kids and several people on the deck it is nice to have two gangways. Plus even though I only have it loosely tied to the bank, it hasn't moved a bit just setting on the ground. 1.8 acre pond with CNBG, RES, HSB, and LMB Trophy Hunter feeder.

All CNBG were stocked in February of this year. 7.75" 8.2oz RW 134% 7.75" 7.2oz RW 118% And a 6" 3.5oz RW 135%, forgot to take a pic..... Looks like everything is going to plan. I thought it was, but nice to have some numbers to verify. **Not sure which pics were here prior to the PhotoHostage.....** Last edited by BrianL; 07/17/17 01:21 PM. 1.8 acre pond with CNBG, RES, HSB, and LMB Trophy Hunter feeder.

I feed 5 time in morning and 4 in afternoon, and pretty much the same every spin. Last edited by BrianL; 08/10/17 01:24 PM. 1.8 acre pond with CNBG, RES, HSB, and LMB Trophy Hunter feeder.
