Hey guys, updates been far apart since there hasn't been a ton of good news, and my pigs + WILD PIGS have been keeping me busy.
It has *FINALLY* started to get a little rain around here, it hasn't helped out much yet as we are somewhere between 6 and 8' lower than full right now. Did a quick canoe around the pond and couldnt find YOY anywhere. Did a few minutes of fishing and had one bite from a bass I'm guessing was 12-14" but he wouldnt commit.
LOTS of *something* jumping in the middle of my pond where it's still 6' deep or so. I'm assuming it's like PLECOs eating surface bugs? Video here on my FB https://fb.watch/5-lbOeFT4G/
Types of Fish I have confirmed were in my pond at least until May: LMB, BG, Gambusia, Gar, Bowfin, Blue Tilapia, Pleco
Can't even find the Tilapia right now. Temps in mid 80s. Put a pause on my feeding since I'm not seeing activity.
I've identified 3 trees I went to tip over into the water based on the structure I'm seeing right now, and I think that the "finger" of land that you can see in this photo https://imgur.com/gallery/sKlvJV7 Which is currently another 2' or so exposed, I'm going to put a line of structure, probably 5g buckets with stucks stuck out and concrete on the bottom, all along that finger of land.
When Pond is filled again I'll get 2 orders (160lbs) of 2-4" BG , drop them in the new structure, and put up my 2 feeders in that spot. If I also add Craws should I add them to the same location or a different area? Also going to be bucket stocking larger BG from a local fish management area that has 25/day limit. Probably make my first trip for that next week.

Im going to ask a lot of questions, but only because I'm clueless
