OOOWEEE that right side looks like frog heaven, or really all around the edge...do you hear any frogs? I just broke my PB on a frog lure. Also around this time if you spend about 20 minutes just staring at the water you might see some movement, especially right before sunset. Toss some pieces of bread in there and see if anything comes up

What do you think fish people anything in there
You never know there could be some bass and pickerel in there, def sunfish . I've caught bass in some pretty small ponds. They stocked so many around here back in the '60s and '70s . Keep an eye if you see any movement or whatever they're in there. Or like aa said throw something in ? And if they're not in there and it's close to your house, you could always bring fish home and throw them in there. I may have done that when I was younger lol.

Thanks for the tips folks I would have stood there for days before I figured the bread thing out to be honest it prolly would have been one of the kids that thought about that first lol. I dont have any time to start fishing right now as you can see by all the brush but I plan on hitting it hard in the fall. The pond was stocked at one point about 15 or so years ago Bass, Bluegill and a few Catfish but hasnt been fished but a few times since then. Got about an acre of water surface need to check the depth but I think it could hold a nice amount of fish and if there aint nothing in it I would like to make that happen.

I dont think I have fished twice since I was a kid never was good at it used to get hung up and snap the line over and over again :LOL: Didnt have nobody around that could teach me so I just never got in to it. Now I got this pond and I sure as fuck dont want to swim in it

Almost forgot about the frogs yes I hear them sing all over the farm in the pond and creeks we also have a bunch of tree frogs so the music is wild at night

That’s how I got back into fishing: youtube. Now you can even find pro fishermen and watch whole fishing tournaments from their perspectives. Anytime I pick up a new lure i just type it into youtube and boom atleast 20-30 videos on it.

Yeah I wouldn’t go near that pond without some clear paths, the snakes are definitely out and about. Seen a 3-4ft Water snake or Rat snake sunning the other day while walking the dog along with seeing plenty on the water edge over the past month.

Stocked 15 years ago, hmm bet there’s some giants in there. Definitely should be catfish in there unless otters. If it’s atleast 5 ft deep you should still have bass as birds wouldn’t be able to pick em off unless you have cormorants around. Also don’t let the youtubers talk you into buying super expensive gear, caught my 5.71lb bass on a $45 spinning combo. Anyways ima shut up now or I’ll go on all day :)

We have a few black ones around here but getting fewer and harder to find. I went through a town in Missouri once that had albino squirrels, they had signs in the town square I guess you would call it, saying it was illegal to kill or feed them. Can't remember what town but somewhere around Springfield.
Have albino squirrels in Kansas City area as well. Quite a few of them. All in town though, never seen one out hunting rural wet bottoms.

Amazing, could watch that all day.

I watched about 15 minutes of this sitting on the porch. Way better than peeling off that plastic film stuff.
letsdig18 is my favorite for stuff like that. He does a lot of work on ponds like building and also fixing them but also just other jobs that require those big machines. I have no idea what most of the machines are called but I too enjoy watching.

I really thought there was a place where you could rent those types of machines lol
