So....now you get to see what the American Dream looks like in progress.
I may remove this photo for privacy issues......but it's just worth sharing now.

By the end of the summer, the bed will be leveled and be topped with a deck.
The minute I saw this truck in a fence row on the back side, I had a vision of fishing with my kids from a deck on the back of this truck. I've already got the materials for the bridge and I've got some other ideas ranging from a fire pit to a solar charged bug zapper. Yes...It's going to be every thing I thought it would be.






In the background, you'll see a dam with a hole it it and a pile of dead trees. When those are burned out, that pond will be repaired, with a 6-8" open pipe hanging into the big pond. I'm going to stock the small pond with crawfish, minnows and sunfish. My hope is that when it rains hard, it will flood food into the main pond.

Have any of you ever constructed "floating structure"?

I've seen a design for something made of pvc and other materials that looks kind of like a palm tree that floats and is controlled for location/depth by nylon rope and a block.

I'm looking at suspending something 4-6' below the waterline in one of the deeper areas.

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for or not.

For years i've been planning on building a bass pond. 10 years ago my browser at work probably had something for work, CP and a pond management website open.

Well, last year I built it. I spent the fall and part of this spring building structure from pvc designs I've seen or developed, cement yard statues, pallets, dirt mounds.......and I'm working on my centerpiece. Not long ago I walked into an area gas station and heard 2 strangers discussing my project as a "monument".

Anyway......I'm posting a few pics of the pond, the structures I've built and maybe the centerpiece, which is a work in progress.

Well....it's coming together, filling with water as I type....and the next chance I get I'll be taking the kids to catch some bluegill to start stocking it.

Freakin awesome mate!!! I would love to be able to something like this sometime, hopefully before I am too old to enjoy it :(

Man that is awesome!! How big is the pond?

It's a little over 2 acres

A buddy built one a quarter mile away that is over 5 acres.

Whoa, that's some coin there. I looked into building a 2 acre pond and I was quoted almost 18k to dig it.

You would have to visit the Home Depot in a dozen different cities to come up with enough Mexicans to hand dig a 2 acre pond.

I have to admit I just sold all of my fishing gear. I did way too much fishin' and not enough catchin'.

Cheaper to pay $12/lb for Grouper or Mahi.
