Next weekend we're going on a bender of building fish structure to set out on the ice.
We'll be doing a bunch of the pvc/plastic trees/pineapples that I like, and some structures built of pallets and stuffed with cedar trees.
I'm excited for my pond this coming summer. In the first year, the bass went from fingerlings to averaging over 13". I fed the cats all summer, and the bluegill came up alot to feed also. The pan fish are definitely eating size now.
I've been putting a few gallons of minnows in twice/year, and installed a new gadget I'm working on as well as a solar bug zapper in a long pole to drop bugs in all night.
I'm considering fixing a small pond I had drained and using it for minnows only, and trapping them to sell/dump into ponds I fish or am stocking in my area.
Hopefully I'll actually have time to fish this year between work, farm stuff and kids summer sports.
