@glenna3434 2 года назад

Turn the well inlet into an aerator? That way it doesn't drill through the clay liner and enhances the pond health (meaning better bass!) I would drain and build the dock right the first time with piers and avoid the floating dock. My last suggestion would be getting some 3 or 4 inch plastic pipe and criss cross it inside the willow cage and zip tie it to the cage. That way when the willows rot in 2 or 3 years, the pipe will still be a great fish attractor.

@Victor_Victory 2 года назад

Fantastic idea I gotta take notes for all these ideas once I build my own pond.

@thoriated 2 года назад

I agree with building the dock the right way now, even if you have to let some water out and delay the fill. It's just going to be more troublesome to go back and do it over later with plants and fish in the pond. Put some rip-rap stones at the fill pipe to hold it in place, break up the flow and limit the erosion. Once there is water over it you won't be able to see what it's doing. Hate for it to blow a hole through the liner. You could also drill small holes along the submerged length to reduce the force of flow, like a drip hose.

@URANUSguys 2 года назад

man thats some great advice

@espeterson522 2 года назад

@@thoriated A floating dock would be even better. Wood/metal pilings rot and rust, not to mention that you have to put posts in, possibly damaging the liner. Floating docks last far longer and there's no risk of damaging anything.

My uncle , my cousin & I did this very thing back in 2009 with 60 acres on my uncles land . I’m from the Mid West . The first thing my uncle did was find a natural spring then had it capped & redirected a creek so it would flow into the lake & back out again . It took 5 years before we could fish it because we had to make sure the ecosystem was viable for the fish . Now it’s a thriving lake & my uncle stocks it regularly . It’s a blast to fish & we don’t have to go far to fish it .

I'm moving to NC and in time I plan to buy a 40 acre plot of farm land to eventually build a "Ohio" round barn that can seat 500 people for events comfortably for receptions and events while doubling as a restaurant during the week. This is something I would like to do with a large island with an outdoor gazebo for outdoor ceremonies while I also have bonfire pits. The overall plan is to eventually have the pond filled with Koi fish and lotus flowers. I just love this!

@Kmacnm 2 года назад

Add a 45 degree joint on to the end of your feed pipe and then add some larger river rock for the water to fall upon to prevent erosion. On e your water level is above the pipe, you're golden! Can't wait to see it filled up! Great project!

@prezzle208 2 года назад

Definitely agree with this comment. This is how we keep our watering pivots from sinking deep into the ground from erosion. We set big lava rock for it to walk on. Helps prevent more erosion and gives the pivot something solid to be on.

@TheRevFireman630 2 года назад

I hope you open the drain up and let the water drain to the point of being able to build the type of dock that you want to have. There will be many years of enjoying the dock you want instead of enduring the dock you don't want. You spent the money on the well, and you did the manual labor of putting in the 2" fill pipe, you know that you can fill the pond manually if in fact you don't get the typical rain you talk about in every video. With all of that said, stay safe! I for one am praying for not just your family, but all of the impacted areas from Ida, and I'm sure many others are as well. Blessings to you and yours, Mr. BamaBass!!

I think you need to dump a load of gravel where the well comes into the pond to help limit the erosion. You might also/instead put 30 degree bend pointing upward, once there's a few feet of water. That way, the steam will be disrupted by the existing water, rather than having a heavy stream of water running parallel to your clay liner.

@todd3138 2 года назад

Something to keep in mind regarding your well water is that it typically is not oxygenated at all and can create some problems with your dissolved oxygen levels effectively creating a potential dead zone in your pond. You may want to consider creating a creek bed for the last 50' or so before the water reaches the pond, giving it time to tumble over rocks and aerate to the point that it's healthy with oxygen by the time it hits your pond. Plus, that could be a really nice feature to add to the overall environment you are creating with this project.

@PurpleDrac Год назад

that's a great recommendation and how did he aerate the pond?? I remember him driving around on a boat doing tests but he never showed us how he oxygenated it. Glad I came across this comment. I know it's a old one but I do still go back and rewatch some of these while I wait for the new ones to come out. 👍🏽Great recommendation once more 😎

@todd3138 Год назад

@@PurpleDrac thanks for the comment. I think he ended up routing the pipe or hose so the water shot out of it. That was a minimal way of oxygenating the water but it was a statt. Wind causing waves, even small ones, is also a great source of adding oxygen and with a pond that size, there is certainly a lot of surface area to be affected by wind.

Have you thought about making a trout pond? It may be a lil too warm in bama, but you take good enough care of your ponds-I think it could turn out awesome!

They wouldn't survive our Summer temps but I would love to have them or smallmouth.

@highjinx6519 2 года назад

Yep they stock em in some of the rivers and lakes here in Texas in the winter but they have to do it every year because I don’t think too many last thru the summer.

Would need some deep water or external cooling for trout to survive.

@samhepl 2 года назад

@@ChicagoTRS I bet that water from the well is super cold

I"m a colorado boy and can tell you that 80 degree plus days put a lot of stress on trout. even our game and fish department recommends not to target trout if the temperatures are too warm. they say to keep the trout and not release them because they probably won't live. I like the idea of small mouths. keep in mind they need rocky bottoms to do well.

This is insane. How you are able to do this is beyond me, but this is like something you’d have in a dream. Your very own pond, with YOUR fish, and you decide who gets to fish there. No Karen’s telling you not to fish. This is so freaking cool

Wouldn't have thought but watching the process of building a rather large pond has been pretty cool. Thanks for sharing with us your narration has been entertaining and very informative. Thumbs 👍 up ...

@V1PER7964 2 года назад

I'd drain the pond and then build the dock so you reach your 100% completion vs a floating dock. Otherwise it will bug you. You can always fill it back up with the well if nature is taking too long.

The pond without water gives me Liminal Space vibes, like a video game map in development or with a missing texture.

@superterminald3827 2 года назад

bama! I live waterfront on a lake and started with a wooden dock, sledge hammering poles into the lakebed, and eventually upgraded to aluminum. my aluminum dock has plates on the bottom of the supports that just sit nicely on the lake floor, and I can tie boats up to it just fine. For your purposes a floating dock would work just fine. No reason to risk the integrity of your clay layer.

This is fascinating. From a fishing standpoint, building and filling your own pond you will know the topography (might now be the right word 🤷) of that pond like the back of your hand. All the shelves, the dropoffs, the structure etc. It'll make it super fun for catching fish. Nothing like fishing a pond you're very familiar with
