Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Got Rain?

Got 4 more inches in the past 12 hours. That makes 17" in less than 2 weeks. Some real heavy stuff is on the way. I can hear it rumbling off to the west.

We got 9 inches overnight i got up at 5am to go check the pond and its overflowing. Its flooded pretty bad in my area water is over the roads down here.

My rain gage was full just a few minutes ago. It holds ~7". Who knows, we may have got 8-10". That makes at least 20" here in less than 2 weeks. We have pretty bad street flooding and school closures.

Glad your pond is full.

Had a storm show up last night that was pretty localized. They said winds were up to 70mph, but I don't think they were half that.

We got 1.75 inches in half an hour, then it was gone. Hopefully this one put some water in my lake!!

Eddie

am so excited i can barely stand it.....large system moving in from pacific today.......had only traces of rain in OCT and none since APRIL before that......expecting 1 to 2 inches between tomorrow and Sat......i will be settin out at pond watchin the faces of my thirsty fish look toward the sky and drinkin in the fresh agua....

I sure hope it happens for ya, DIED.

Raining here as we speak. Good luck Dave! I hope you get 4 inches, nice and slow.

Dave, We will have to make you an honorary Texan. That's about what happens here. Well OK, the guys in East Texas got some whoppers.

thanks very much guys, not happy with results......most of it fell in NorCal, Oregon, and Warshington........only 0.6-inhces Wed through Fri.........gave everybody a tiny drink though. We are heading into what looks like a wet cycle, so more should be arriving before long.

Just got back from the pond in Miss. It is now within 1 1/2 ft. of pool after getting down to 1 to 2 ft. in deepest part. Must have been less than 50,000 gallons. Dont know for sure. No one to give accurate info. Did not expect fish, but did trap and fish with shiners. Caught 1 CC, several female BG and trapped several class BG. Males probably fanning nests with new water and full moon, 65 degree water. 1 year ago I put in 25 2.5 inch northen LMB. I baited up with my last tiny shiner on a gold wire bream hook. Of course a bass swallowed it. It was 14+ inches and over 2 lbs. This has to be very excelerated growth. Do you think it is a rouge, or could more be anywhere near this size. Small pond, 1/2 ac. or a little more.

BM that is great news that some fish survived.

While that is on the upper end of LMB growth rates in 16 mths it is possible under your conditions. While the water went down it concentrated forage right under the LMB's nose. If it opened its mouth it caught a fish. That is one reason people use water drawdowns (to concentrate forage for predators).

Well they are saying we are to get some rain this evening and maybe a little snow too. I just hope to get some more water in the pond. Keeping my fingers xed. Hubby said he had a dream the pond was over flowing. Maybe just maybe. LOL

OK so how much rain has hit ya'll in Texas? We have gotten 3 1/4 inches in the last 15 hours and more on the way. Supposed to ice and snow today by late this evening. They are saying 2 to 4 inches of snow for us now. I took some pics of the pond and it has really gotten a lot of water in it. Since hubby did some digging it has spread a bunch. We have a little island now LOL.


Here is what it looked like in Sept.




And this is now.

Just .65" since 11/27. A lot of sprinkles but nothing resembling a downpour. We're envious.
