My 20 ft. Ranger hasn't moved in 5 years. My wife recently counted my tackle boxes and found 10 of them. They are also pretty low mileage since I stocked my ponds. She stopped counting rods and reels at 25.
There is a downside, several in fact. The pond fish can get hook shy unless you have a pretty large one. Like a boat, they can get expensive if you do it right. And, like golf (they tell me), it can be pretty hard to always do it right.
I will someday have to sell my land with ponds. Then I'll fix up the boat and get a deer lease. I dread that day.
It's not about the fish. 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.
Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
