Pond Boss Magazine: Why Pond Boss?

Looking for something specific about pond management? Chances are… someone has written about it in the pages of Pond Boss magazine.Born as a newsletter in July, 1992, Pond Boss magazine has emerged as the go-to source for all things pond. In our archives, we have a long list of back issues, loaded with practical information you can use. Want to know how to make a cane pole, fertilize a southern pond, figure out if your fish are growing or not? Maybe how to identify aquatic plants or how to build a beach? Pond Boss has it. Take a look at each year’s list of published articles and dig deeper into those things you want to know. Pond Boss back issues archives has it. More than 110 issues* of great information, at your beck and call.Note: * If the back issue you select has completely sold out, we will substitute a photocopy facsimile of the entire issue, bound and trimmed in magazine style. At it. You can only see 3 pieces of board under the water now. The boards on the ramp are 4" tall by 2 feet wide going down into the water at an angle. I also measure the clarity just by dropping down a lure off the dock. We have not had any rain to contribute to the bad clarity. We have had high winds but its been really windy here for over a month.l-----ll-----ll-----ll-----ll-----lJoined: May 2010Posts: 4OPJoined: May 2010Posts: 4The visibility is really bad right now. Maybe they just over dyed the lake Bill? I would suspect that if you added too much dye to that five gallon bucket you would not be able to see the bottom?Joined: Apr 2002Posts: 15,483Likes: 1195Moderator Ambassador Field CorrespondentLunkerModerator Ambassador Field CorrespondentLunkerJoined: Apr 2002Posts: 15,483Likes: 1195Over applying dye is a possibility depending a lot on who applied the dye private vs certified applicator. Wind action re-suspending shoreline and bottom sediments is another strong possibility. Dye tends to mask the presence of silt, mud, clay particles in the water which is why a lot of people use it - as make-up for turbid water.

I believe all of the bass in the pond eligible for the Texas Legacy Lunker program biting what he is throwing would be a proper show of respect. Unless of course, he is fishing for BG, then I would accept everything over 1.5# biting to be appropriate.1 member likes this:gehajakeJoined: Mar 2005Posts: 21,683Likes: 361Moderator Hall of Fame 2014LunkerModerator Hall of Fame 2014LunkerJoined: Mar 2005Posts: 21,683Likes: 361Boss fishing -- Congrats !!!Attached ImagesOhCanada2012.jpg (43.12 KB)">Last edited by ewest; 02/07/24 02:11 PM.Joined: Apr 2002Posts: 15,474Likes: 1176Moderator Ambassador Field CorrespondentLunkerModerator Ambassador Field CorrespondentLunkerJoined: Apr 2002Posts: 15,474Likes: 1176It is always very good to be recognized by the professional fish squeezers.

Pond Boss Magazine: 2025 Pond Boss Magazine Issue Summary

Ponds drain down to the depth of the leak and then the water level stabilizes and loss of water subsides or at least slows down alot. This indicates that the leak is likely above the 'new' water level. To me going bone dry suggests the leak or one of the leaks is in the bottom.Last edited by Bill Cody; 02/03/13 02:14 PM.aka Pond Doctor & Dr. Perca Read Pond Boss Magazine -America's Journal of Pond ManagementJoined: Sep 2009Posts: 3,544Hall of FameLunkerHall of FameLunkerJoined: Sep 2009Posts: 3,544Cecil, with the clay that you have, you could make pottery! Absolutely! A may have already related this here, but a guy I know that leased farm ground in my area would not lease to the Amish. He said the clay soil when it got wet and heavy would kill a horse if it tried to plow it. I've got a 6' layer of clay covering over all my property, when I built my house you could see solid clay down to about 12' then topsoil then sand.. The geologist I had to have come out too tell me where to put my septic told me all the land in my area is like this from a glacier overturning all the land and basically burying all the good topsoil under blue clay.. My house is 2-3yrs old and I still have huge clay baren spots where nothing will grow not even weeds.. Kinda sucks but my pond don't leak a drop lol..I believe in catch And will probably let it go for a while and then pump the it dry and start over. This time I'll use a sheep's foot.Like Bill mentioned, the leak is probably in the bottom, but I'm going to let it go for a while and see if it stops before we get to the bottom...Joined: Jan 2013Posts: 4OPJoined: Jan 2013Posts: 4Hey Thanks for all the suggestions! Was able to talk to the guy that built the pond and he is willing to help me anyway he can to fix it. By the way what's a sheep foot?Last edited by DWM; 02/03/13 05:34 PM.Joined: Apr 2002Posts: 15,480Likes: 1195Moderator Ambassador Field CorrespondentLunkerModerator Ambassador Field CorrespondentLunkerJoined: Apr 2002Posts: 15,480Likes: 1195There are tow behind single and double barrel sheeps foot rollers and self propelled sheepsfoot compactors. They also make a vibratory sheepsfoot compactors. If you want to compact dirt the sheepsfoot is the tool to use. from an equipment operator: "If you use the sheepsfoot in combination with a grader be sure the grader operator just trickles material into the holes but doesn't do any cutting. The foot then compacts the material in the holes and gets your compaction up much more easily. Have harsh words with the operator who cuts the surface of your compacted area!"See this discussion about compacting dirt. edited by Bill Cody; 02/03/13 08:33 PM.aka Pond Doctor & Dr. Perca Read Pond Boss Magazine -America's Journal of Pond ManagementJoined: Oct 2012Posts: 67Joined: Oct 2012Posts: 67Question I just constructed a one

You went from 2 foot visibility and now your at 6 inches that will effect your fishing. You may have to change up for a few day until the dye starts to dull out a little. Maybe throw some rattle traps or spinner baits something that the bass can find a little easier. I know other guys here use dye too so maybe they can help you out a little more.The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!!

Blue dye by itself will not reduce water carity. It is dissolved, acts like a stain and does not significantly reduce complete sunlight penetration. Put water in a 5 gal bucket or swimming pool and add a small amount of blue due to match the color of the stained pond water. You can still see the bottom of the bucket. Dye normally only filters out certain or a few of the colors (primarily red & orange) in sunlight. The other colors still penetrate to the original depth. I strongly suspect that something else contributed to additional suspended solids in the water to reduce sunlight penetration to 6" - 12".
