Adding Boulders to new pond for bass fishing structure
Added:cheated. I tried to get tried to get two of them on the right side. I got all kinds of terrain features that cut into dirt are going to go on the left side here inside the dam.
All right, I'm going to get my first rock pile for structure. There's clay in here. This is most of the bigger rocks from the septic. I got to pull a couple out for Sharon, but I'm going to try and scoop this and get this whole pile if I can make my first bass pile. Look at a little sunflower. That's perfect. Look at that.
I wasn't even trying.
Heat.
Heat.
All right, got my first rock pile.
Uh, I'll get what's left with the tractor. It's a lot easier to maneuver than this. But I think in the meantime, I'm going to run this down to one of our dry creeks and start scooping up some rocks from down there.
be a long haul in between, but it I mean this thing probably holds for the small tractor bucket, I don't know, 10 10 buckets worth in there.
Maybe a dozen.
So, we'll go around the back of the pond dam and put the first rock pile in.
Exciting.
All right, we're coming in from the backside.
To the right of us is the old pond dam.
We're at the base of it.
I guess I'm taking a little bit of a risk putting rocks down in case I, you know, in case it doesn't hold and I need some bent knight or something for sealer. But I'm I'm pretty confident that I got it lined good with red clay and I think it'll be all right.
This first rock pile right up here eventually be about 3 4 feet underwater and we'll take a ride down to down to a uh Bryant Creek. See what I can find.
Big one up here. We'll see if we can get that. And I got a couple more big ones along this driveway.
I got it.
the logging mode for the loggers to use.
It's a great big giant rod and eyeball and so is Sharon, but I'm getting it.
See it up there on the left? Oh, there's another one in front of it.
I might have to turn around and try to scoop them uphill.
Give me a better chance of getting it.
Either that or I scoop some small stuff and then come back and get it on my way back. That's what we'll do. We'll go down, try and get a scoop of some small medium size and then we'll try to get that big one on the way back up. All right, there's uh three or four basketball and softball size ones. I'll try to grab these while hanging on to the one I got.
I didn't get one of them. I got several of them.
And then we'll go back up and get that big one.
And then we'll drop that load.
I was originally going to do this with the excavator, but Sharon's working, so I'd have to hike or take the mini bike back up.
So, for now, I'm just going to see what I can scab for a couple rock trips.
That's it. I might be needing the excavator. I just lost one by turning around, but I'm going to try and get the big one right here.
Problem is, I'm I'm going to probably lose the ones I got.
Ah, yeah, I just pushed it forward. So, we collect this one and go try and get that other big one.
And I guess we will go with the excavator plant.
God damn it, man. It's not enough time, not enough hands, not enough energy.
All right, I got it that time.
Oh, no. I didn't get it.
I'll leave that. I got the patience for it.
cheated. I tried to get tried to get two of them.
Well, see how long she stays on there.
All right, I'll check back in when we get back up top.
Just kicked the deer out of right here in this patch of brush.
I'm going to go down in the bottom and then I'm going to bring them up hill so they don't roll down on me.
Well, I miss our Illinois pond, man.
That was such a beautiful pond we did there, man.
On the right side, I got all kinds of terrain features that cut into dirt.
So, these are going to go on the left side here inside the dam.
Got a little spot here. That's a little bit of hole in it. It should help hold that big one right right here.
Okay, got a nice little rock pile. That's all it takes.
The cover for fish and the crayfish, little fish.
All right. Uh, I'm not sure if I'm going to wrap it up now for today, but man, I'm happy I finally got the inside done.
I'm almost done for the day. So, I'll start shuffling this pond and shaping it back here cuz I want to get this planted to help keep it get something growing on it. Hopefully Holy Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Baby.
