Go fishing for big fish

I used to work at a pond management company. When you only see large dead fish it’s typically an oxygen issue. Larger fish require more oxygen therefore they are the first to die when O2 levels are low. This is common problem with small ponds. If the pond does not receive enough wind to blend in oxygen then this will begin to happen. Another possible issue if run off from agricultural fields. Ag fields can run its excess nutrients into the pond. When excess nutrients enters it allows for aquatic plants or a planktonic bloom to grow excessively. This large growth can pull most of the oxygen from the pond leading to death of the fish (the large ones first). To solve this issue you can install aerators. It’s also helpful to throw in bacteria such as nutrisob. Nutrisorb is a maintenance bacteria that consumes excess nutrients in your pond. This bacteria should be added all year around to keep the pond in good shape. Nutrisorb also will help deplete the pond from building up muck at the bottom keeping it from filling in over time. Hope this helped!👍🏼 aerators are a lot more effective than fountains.

Surface aerators better than bottom based! Approximately 1HP per surface acre of water. Don't do a fountain...they are pointless for aeration (mostly)

Hell yeah! Keep it up! Fountain next??!??

Build a small bait pond, stock it once with the shad, sunfish etc., keep all predatory fish out and you'll be able to stock your bass pond with baitfish whenever you need to. Put a feeder on it and you wont have to worry about the catfish eating all the feed like your big pond, self sustaining bait year round to help grow your trophy bass! You can turn it into a little mini series while you're building it.

Sounds expensive as fuck

I used to maintain a pond on our farm (we called them stock tanks) and one thing I can tell you is important for a healthy pond is to provide aeration. You have fished ponds where you have seen a fountain in approximately the center. You do not have to go that big but some type of fountain that is constantly raining down on your pond will help. Food is important structure is important but I would say aeration is paramount to a healthy pond. After I added the fountain to our pond I never saw another dead fish. Of course we were feeding them as well. You do have the advantage of natural water feeding your pond but still the area of your pond is large and the natural flow of water is not enough to support it. When you have heavy rains the oxygen level goes up but when you have long periods without rain your oxygen level drops. Keep up the videos I love them.

Wouldnt you want to check oxygen before adding MORE fish? JS

You should do a fountain. I think you should try and test the water aswell as fix the oxygen levels before you introduce thousands of new fish. What if your water does have an ICK? You just transferred that to all of those fish

Since you added these baitfish it is so important to have tons of structure so that the baitfish don’t all get eaten in a week

Fountain or some type of feature. Should use that wire fence to help out with the damn. Sandwich the damn material to keep it from pushing over.

I’ve been waiting for the pond stocking videos!!

Hopefully you did gizzard shad because they’re much more cold tolerant than threadfin shad. I had a buddy who stocked 4,000 threadfin shad in his pond last October because he thought if he stocked them in October they’d spawn in just a few months but that freeze we had killed 100% of them lol.

Its just odd that one problem could be low oxygen, so a few thousand fish get added.

So glad to see y’all boosting the pond

Later LOJO and BADGE try fishing the pond for Biggies... The fish, "Lures"? We don't need NO stinkin' Lures ... We've got a FRESH BAIT FISH BUFFET, DUDE !!"

Get yourself a solar fountain and you’ll have happy fish. Fish love fountains and moving water.

Y'all gotta do a catfish catching frenzy day. Use every rod y'all have and throw catfish bait out on circle hooks and just go ham. Don't stop till all those suckers are relocated

Good job guys. Moving in the right direction

A tip from Sweden…tie alot of tree branches together and sink them with stones then put them at different places at your pond! Going to work much better when the minnows has to swim all over but got protection at more places…

also add underwater native aquatic plants and weeds to the pond such as hornwort etc will help with oxygen and all around pond health.

Love these videos man keep it up

Really love the pond videos. Love to see some fountain or something to get that oxygen level up

Great job on the pond! Lojo putting Badge to work again haha

Cinder blocks with Christmas trees also make great cover and structure for a pond.

I love lojo don't get me wrong but ayo edits are so in tune with lojos personalities

Might add a couple of 12 volt aerators. Fence post in the pond, with a sprinkler mounted on top. Hose from the sprinkler to a 12 volt boat bilge pump, on a floating rig, tied to the post, at water level. Wire to the bank and hooked to a 12 volt solar set up.

Serious question LOJO, any concern about the bluegills eating the bass spawn? I mean big bass are great obviously, but you're gonna wanna keep growing big ones no?

Pretty much, he could put in some aquatic plants suggested by his local Soil and Water Conservation District too. Plants will breakdown in the water and help the water chemistry and other plants on shore will add to the ecosystem...like cat tails at the ponds edge.

That looks like a perfect spot for the bass them self. Got a large hole cold water feeder creek.
