| Post subject: | Ultimate Bass/Duck Setup |
So I drew up one idea for my pond based on what I've been reading. The whole property is 35ac. The existing pond is about .3ac for reference...it's the dark green area the creek runs through. I think the end product would be about 3ac total. It looks like ideally you have 10-25% of the pond have a 3' vegetation shelf for plants to grow, provide baitfish cover, and a spawning area for bass. Then it would go in to a sharp drop to 8' where we could drop trees, rocks, PVC structures, etc. This would be primarily where the bass will live. I also added an 8' area in the middle to create a dropoff, again with rocks and trees. The remainder is 16', which evidently is about the max ideal depth for bass. The light blue line is an existing runoff creek that goes through that existing pond. The dam is on the south end. The duck slough is a 3' deep square pit that I will plant vegetation then using a pump to fill it up from the pond/creek for duck season. The other option would do be to put it in line with the creek, but that may end up putting too much water in it before my annual vegetation can mature. Any thoughts or suggestions? |

I feel like the "duck Slough" is kinda close to the road, No? |

Each hash mark on the side is 100 feet. So I think at the closest point if we were sitting on the pond dam facing south it would be at least 700ft. Hunting from the other 3 sides I don't think it would be an issue, because it's a further distance plus shooting through trees....or towards my windows... |
