Have you considered building a large bat house to help with pest control? They eat around 10000 mosquitoes each per night and, with a proper collection tray, their droppings make a great fertilizer.
I've heard bluebirds will eat tons of mosquitoes to if they're native there.
Lake Alice on University of Florida campus has a big bat house and it's a trip to go out there when the sun is setting.
Putting my vote in for purple martins and bat houses!!!
@@Chris-zo5ze I was about to suggest purple martin house, too

Retired Motorola radio tech of 30 plus years.
I’ve spent a lot of time installing, servicing rooftop antenna “farms”.
You got yourself a good old fashion side strike. Live and learn.
Install a dedicated lightning rod out away from the compound you are building.
Think flag pole.
It’s not that easy. You need to install what’s called a grounding halo. Have it capacitance checked to ensure peace of mind.
The bolt can hit pretty far away and just the energy field alone gets ‘ya. Once you give it a nice target to get attracted to, seal the deal and dissipate it PROPERLY into Mother Earth. Efficient energy transfer to a proper earth ground gives all that side energy a place to go to.
Admit it. You wanted a flag pole anyway.
Bama your videos need to be 45 minutes to an hour. I can watch your videos all day long!
As a field technician, I get to fish at all times of the day.
I have found that without a doubt, regardless of species, the best time to fish is from 3am-6am (about a 1.5-1.0 hours before 1st light till about an hour after the sun is up).
What lure would you used in the dark
Love the channel, long time viewer. I'm electrician, By trade. you need to set yourself up with surge protection. And ground rods protection for lightning strikes. They also make surge protections for your cameras.
Nice..
The way the animals interact with the pond is simply awesome. It's clear that they love it just as much as you do! Your dedication to creating this habitat for them is truly commendable. Thank you for sharing this incredible journey with us on UA-cam. Keep up the fantastic work!
This seems like a bot comment kind of by I think you're an AI generated tool so the people that made this channel get good publicity I think they might actually be very rotten peoole
It would help if you tried native plants. If you had their natural habitat, you wouldn't need to set out the feed. I recommend wild sunflowers instead of the cultivar because they make far more flowers per plant. rudbeckia and coreopsis would also be good for the songbirds and deer. I also recommend prunus angustifolia. The deer love it. It also looks like your pond could use some wetland and aquatic plants. Your area has a ton of potential. keep up the good work. 👍
Native fruit and nut trees and shrubs from your region would be such a cool educational aspect of the pond! I grow native sunflowers in my garden here in CA and they don't even blink at adversity that would kill a seed cultivar. The gophers don't eat them but the migratory songbirds go bananas for their seeds in fall.
I've been commentimg this since day one man. Idk why he's so opposed to adding native plants to the system
Wetland Plants would look really nice in the pond and do good to
I don't think he gives a crap about ecology and creating a responsible wildspace. He's bought into the worldview that doesn't distinguish between native and invasive species, and clearly has more money than sense, given that he thinks it's appropriate to have pumping machinery going 24/7, tons of fertilizer thrown in, and non native Tilapia to control algae that wouldn't be a problem if there were actual plants in the pond. And I'm not sure where he got the idea that his water was murky because of algae eating plankton - that murk is algae.
He doesn't seem to realise that all the problems he faces are because of excess nutrients - and his answer seems to be 'add more nutrients'.
Maybe I'm being unfair to him - he does seem to appreciate wildlife, but he just doesn't know the difference between wildlife and invasive species, or understand how ecosystem works - probably because he listens to industrial fertiliser salesmen.
Your channel is so successful because you ACTUALLY read openly comments to those who are knowledgeable. I am not one of those individuals, but read the comments and they are respectful and a wealth of information. Good job sir
Now my days better 😅
1:07 Dude, you made an amazing pond and wildlife hotspot and have been kind enough to share everything with us. It sucks that massive thunderstorms fried everything, but that doesn't mean you have to apologize for anything. I'm glad you and yours are safe and doing alright and happy to get another update. Thanks!
Thought the same, way better attitude about it than I would have had. The weather that rolls through there is crazy
As someone who’s mowed a lot of yards, that hookup for the tractor is BADASS!
Wish there was a link
Right? As someone with a mid-range Honda riding mower and four acres of weeds I am in awe of both hookup and tractor lol.
Tap on a piling out on the dock when you feed, it will reverberate through the whole pond.
Wow. The pond development has really gone well and the prawns has indeed been growing fast. I’m impressed.
The prawns look too tasty to feed to the bass
I never knew just how much work it is to keep a pond and its fish stock maintained and healthy. Nicely done Bama Bass. Also kudos for providing habitat and sustenance for the wildlife in the area.
most people don't do what he does. shallow pond in general, engineer background and UA-cam money is why he does what he does from tagging fish to building electrified solar lighted duck house nobody does. Deeper pond would have helped. He has spent a fortune on fish.
That was definitely thoughtful and kind of that company to work that out with you! They deserve the shout out and you deserve the gift. Keep doin what you do brother we`re watchin and taking notes!
You are always overcoming adversity! Truly a force to be reckoned with! Keep on keeping on!
Joe Dirt quote! Love it!
Sorry about the losses! Been looking forward to this video for a while
Same I was wondering myself, Im damn shol Sorry to hear abt that. Glad to see Bama Bass was able to bounce back! Thank You Lord fr
A long metal pipe, from the edge of the Decking, down into the water, Hit a few times before every feeding
would induce a feeding "Dinner Bell" type gong, sound, letting the fish know, what's coming. Also the comment about Bat's
and a Hanging spot for a colony would be a way of keeping the Mosi and Flys at bay is a brilliant Idea
a Camera would catch the Colony leaving and returning each night too👍🏼
If all of our neighbors were like this guy... We'd be living in paradise...😊
It’s not that hard just plant native trees
@@joakos1122 huh?
I really enjoy watching these fish grow... nice and healthy.
And all the wildlife interacting around the pond is a bonus..lol..thanks for inviting us along.
I’m really excited for the day that you catch either Bonnie or Clyde. Love how the pond build has come along so far
'Cha-batta' bread is how I've heard it mentioned before, Steven. Love the channel btw. You're pretty inspirational showing us all your hard work, AND running the farm to boot.!.!.🙏
Hey Bama, great content as always! Just a thought on cutting the grass at the edge of the pond, my pond is 14 years old and I'm fighting a battle you can avoid. All the dead leaves, grass and pond weeds end up as organic waste at bottom of the pond. Over the years it creates a type of muck bottom that algae feeds on. I have been doing my best to keep from adding any organic waste I can because it happens naturally as well. I leave a 2 foot edge around my pond and let the plants grow, I leave the ones I like and pull the rest. I have a lot more trees so this helps with blowing leaves as well. At the end of the year I use a small mower with a bag and cut it down. Just a thought so you don't end up in the same boat as I'm in.Keep up the great work my friend.
This is what we were meant to do on this earth. Enjoy the beauty of creation and observe ways to help it carefully. You are clearly a scientist on pond ecology and fish. Fantastic to follow!
My dad would always take a paddle and smack the water 5 times and feed, it was crazy watching calm water instantly start boiling. I really miss that 😢
Crazy how all this started from doubling up! Now you have a backyard pond and a whole farm! Congratulations! Sending blessing and positive vibes to you and your family!
I think my favorite thing about this series is the fact that almost everyone who subscribes watches. Talk about connecting to your audience.
I've watched this series since the beginning and there's no doubt this is one of the top series on UA-cam. Truly amazing and so very enjoyable. Thank you.
I love this sound. welcome folks at home welcome back to the crimson oak pond
Some aquarists tap the top of their tank to a certain rhythm before feeding them and it gets their attention. Maybe you can try something similar such as stomping or tapping the dock to a certain rhyme and that might get their attention. Love watching your videos!
Actually, I suggest you leave most of the weeds on the banks, those make for great habitat for many species, mostly insects like dragonflies. Good to see Tiger doing well in his new massive tank 👍
Had a very large Koi pond many years ago and to alert them at feeding time I sunk a long 6in diameter pole in the ground, left 3ft high, then hit it with a large mallet a few times. Worked every time. 👍
Canned cat food also works well for shrimp bait. Just poke a few 1/4” holes in the bottom of the can, and put it in the trap.
Thanks for the great videos.
Watching your channel, is actually therapeutic for me. I love the methodology that you're using to build out this Pond project.
Roll Tide
Oustanding job recovering from the storms. I smell one Meeeeellion subs in your future. Keep up the great work.
Lol. Aint nobody should be mad cuz you tried. Cheh-Bah-Tah.
Good on ya. Love your pond and the true effort you put into it. Kudos
As far as the intricacies and details, your beautiful pond is unquestionably, by far, the most interesting pond project on UA-cam. Really, truly, fascinating. Man I am so sorry for the bad weather. The bass are growing like weeds. Amazing.
Play the beginning to Sweet Home Alabama as the Feeding Trigger!
That was cool of Maschio to do that for ya. Obviously it’s good product placement, but you should name a bass after them!
That mower is amazing. That will for sure save time and is worth what ever cost in time saved.
For the fish feed training idea you should consider using the lights but set them up to strobe for a short duration better each feeling.
That`s a good idea as well!
Thanks from Belgium to share all this "mother nature" and all the effort you make to keep them alive
Can you dedicate a part of the next video on showing the lures you catch most of the bass on?
Maybe the sound to condition the fish for feeding should be something like your Grandaughter sayin "Folks at Home..." or something to that effect and maybe play that under water and top water maybe with some percussion taps or bass(sound not the fish..lol)in some form. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS, I dream of this stuff!! Blessings To Yall!
I must say, you have the best looking pond I've been on real life and on the internet. Ive followed all your progress and now some other pond builders are showing up in my stream but you are still the best, keep it up, long time follower here. im looking forward to your other updates and looking forward to you and your friends fishing and catching them fish later
I can feel your pain. I took a lightning strike a few years back and lost outlets, TVs, computers, phones, microwave, & a few other kitchen electronics. Happy to see you recovering from yours.
That mower at the end is super satisfying.
Jaws theme music is the perfect intro to a Bama Bass Feeding Frenzy!!
You've managed to avert a serious disaster! Great work bama.
Pond is sure coming along,your wildlife habitat has been a joy to watch as it grows every day. Nice work explaining the diverse chemistry that goes on under the pond.
You should put out some easter peeps, those little sugary marshmellow chicks. I worked at the K9 academy in Northern Virginia where I would put these peeps in an old tree stump. There were times that the bears would come running as soon as I opened the pack. Even the deer would check the stump to see if the bears left anything behind.
When it comes with alerting, you should go with some sort of low frequency sound. Light can be missed. Also something mechanical, in case power goes out.
Who else gets excited when Bama uploads? Not just me right?
I’m from Alabama and I can confirm these storms have been bad.
I have cut down at least 15 trees in the past 3 weeks.
Ive been watching your channel since "Bass love crawfish!" around 12 years ago. You have portrayed the most growth out of almost any youtuber Ive seen in that in that time. Happy for you and the family, keep up the great work!
Bama, I clicked because I watch vids obout homemade ponds and lakes. It turns out I like the bio parts just as much. Happily subscribed! I can only imagine the effort put into making a flowing UA-cam video like this. Keep them coming. You must have 30 hours in your days to get everything done. 😂
I knew peanuts grew underground but him pulling them out of the dirt in the middle of a man made Island is crazy 😂
Also, the good thing to add in my opinion abt the fish conditioning is ...say you use multiple methods i.e.. Sound, Lights,Percussion...You can eventually test the conditioning by singling out one method to see if the conditioning still works or not or also which is more effective. This so Dope to see so many different people coming together and sharing knowledge with one another.
Pulsing the underwater lights you've already got sounds like a great way to train the bass.
Maschio to the rescue!!! Shout out to Maschio.... John Musacha approves.
Love the series! Keep the great videos coming!
I've seen a lot of purported orbs, but yours at 18:24 looks like an honest-to-god orb. Not merely an insect flying too close to the camera lens.
Thanks for including that in the video.
Got recommended this channel and i have fallen in love with it so satisfying.
I do not understand why I really enjoy these pond video so much. Lol.
For the sound, make a little paddle so you can mimic the sound of a top-water strike. See if that will work.
I truly appreciate what you do. We look forward to seeing your videos. Sorry you had the trouble.
You are living the life my man
Have a wonderful day. Thank you for sharing. ✌
For the feeding alarm, try a piece of steel or iron pipe suspended with a couple of inches in the water. The pipe will act like a gong, above and below the water The sound can be attenuated by using different hammers to ring it. Wood, metal and plastic could be tried until you get the sound you like. The fish won't care as long as there's bait.
I’ve never seen a peanut plant! Never would’ve guessed they grew on roots.
I love how he says several truck loads of clay when the real amout is insane
Fish name, xanthan, its a yellow part of a flower
Or xebec, which is a three masted vessel from the Mediterranean
love your channel and all the hard work you put into this i love your videos!!
So cool to see your pond grow. The night time blow ups are awesome to watch. I show my grandpa every time. You should try flickering the light’s, probably be the easiest to get them used to .
Definitely the chorus to 'I'm all about that bass' as the music cue to feeding
Super excited about the dinner bell/light flicker! Can't wait to see what you guys decide to do. Blow a conch shell, or call in the troops with a trumpet sound, or bring a disco ball to feeding time.
Always enthralling to see your little slice of paradise blooming and thriving, thank you for taking me along for the ride. And yeah, that Machio attachment is exactly what you needed - great that they came to you aid.
I love your UA-cam channel and you inspire me every day
I know absolutely positively nothing about fishing I’ve been mesmerized by this video!!!
Sorry for your bad luck. Glad you got it behind you for now. Good luck and good weather 👍
At 18:25 is what Paranormal Investigators call an Orb. That is a very good one too! An Orb is a "Ghost" or better known as a Spirit. So in other words, it looked like a Spirit came along to check out your feeder.
I prefer my spider building web theory
@@aubreycasler-qd1yl I don't know about that. I have several trail cameras, and every now and then, I would get spider webs on one or more of the cameras. The spider webs look like tiny round lights on a strand of string, which all would move in sync with each other.
Awesome series, been watching since it’s beginning and I love every update Thanks for sharing all the progress you make with the pond !
I even enjoy the ad - cute little cooking lesson!
Wow this is my dream…a place with a pond and many species of wildlife especially as I near retirement. Love the videos and knowledge.
Lets go. Been waiting for a video. You know its gonna be good 👍
Any thoughts about letting a section of the pond perimeter grow out with bullrush etc? (Or your local equivalent)
Loads of nesting opportunities for birds and arthropods.
As always, loving the updates
I am truly intrigued by your projects...
Moby is KING! Call one of the untag bass in the big pond KING MOBY in honor of the OG MOBY!!!
Use should make a waterfall to let them know it’s feeding time. Love the progress!!
Yall have come so far!!
I could watch this all day
Shout out to Maschio for the mower attachment for the tractor. A great way to advertise. Nice job!!
Shout out to Maschio for the flail mower. What a fabulous mowing invention and saves your back weed eating 3000" of shoreline!!
Why don’t you make the prawn pond brackish so they’ll spawn for you. Should be easy for a pond that small.
Tiger looks happy in his new home
Shew a lot of around the clock work but love what your doing yall are still living my dream! Gonna be awesome to see the first double-digit catch out there! GOD bless you all thanks for sharing
Could a surge protector prevent all these?
I was going to suggest that too. That would 100%help
Glad to see you getting it back together
Been watching since day one haven’t missed a single vid been watching for three years love the vids don’t stop ❤
Sound: A classic sonar ping would be most effective! It’s easily heard and travels well through water
