Should have took the time to add some structure while it was empty. Bolt together some old tires about 2 or three layers high with stainless steel bolts. Works great as fish attractors. Thats what the DNR uses around here.
You should stock the bottom of the pond with fake plastic toy fish. Then when they catch one, you could mount it for them.
Though it is probably illegal where you live. Catch one massive pike, and just let it cruise through the pond this winter. Add some minnows in to make sure it is always there.
Put a scarecrow or dummy dressed in street clothes down there and let your buddy find it with the Aqua-Vu!
I hope not to many people use that pier at once or else they might end up with da fishes.
I'm curious as to why you drained it? Always like to learn new stuff. How do you go about draining it? Pull the plug (joke), big pumps? How long did it take to pump it off? How do you fill it back up?Thanks
I would suspect you own a fish farm of some sort? Between the trout pond and other assorted items.
I swear though there are times when I think the government's sole purpose is to stifle commerce.
taxiderm, what's wrong with the pike idea? Afraid you wouldn't be able to get the fish out in time before restocking in the spring? Or ya just not a big fan of pike?? Don
Taxi how would ya get it there, do you have a transportation lis. I assume that ya do!
