    Default Making spawning beds for a pond


    Anyone ever try it? I have some shallow crates and thinking about putting some small rocks in them and sinking. My pond don’t have a hard bottom so just a thought.

    Wood or gravel work cause they can't spawn successfully on mud and silt .

    I just wonder if a old piece of carpet would work as I seen a minnow farm on you tube had some type of carpet mats that they used for minnow spawning. Sometimes people take out old carpet in there house and that would be a good reuse for it. What do you all think?

    I think they use matts of moss of some type . Some minnows like PVC or wood . Pallets or gravel work good for some fish . Catfish like pipes , hollow logs or wooden boxes

    I'm in-sparred! I have several big garbage can lids I was about to throw away....but they would make great bream beds filled with SB2!
