New pond construction advice for future trophy bass management
Posted by Dylan on 2/6/26 at 3:32 pm
We are currently clearing some land next to the interstate in the Albany area to build a new business. We need some dirt to raise spots and build a pad for our store and our shop. We are outdoorsmen so we figured why not make the most out of what we’re doing and try to make this pond the best a small pond can possibly be for trophy bass one day. I’ve watched a lot of videos and I know structure will be a key part, stocking, managing by culling fish, getting plenty bait through stocking and all that, but I was surprised how similar it is to foodplots as far as liming and fertilizing it to promote optimal plankton growth.
Where I’m at right now is we’re about to start digging. The pond will only be roughly an acre so what is the optimal layout or shape to make the pond. Well obviously have the middle dug as deep as we can for dirt, but would like to create different depths and underwater step ups and channels to give bass places to ambush bait, but also places for bait to get away from bass and spawn.
Is there any pond biologist I should call before we break ground? I know you can only do so much with a small pond, but we’d like to optimize it to be as good as it can be.
Thanks

You mean the coach who just said he got fired and ended up with a better job?
re: With all the new WR coming in, who is our #1?

The Hawaii WR could be a real contender.
Somewhere “JEST A GAME” is melting after posting in every thread that he’s not coming here.
They said the same thing with Sam Leavitte.
They said the same thing about Kiffin not coming because it’s taking too long.
Our fan base is the kings of overreacting!

We filled our biggest needs with the best available

Our biggest needs were QB, Oline (tackle in particular), and edge. We literally got the number one player for each of these positions, along with a lot of other quality players! Insane what Lane has done in such a short time!

I agreed when he left his visit. He's gone
BUMP for you chicken little negatiger. Him and Sam both left, but still committed to the good guys!
He’s the definition of a negatiger and has to be miserable to be around. If Seaton commits he’ll be like we got him, but we paid him way too much, we could’ve gotten 3 in state kids for what we’re paying him.

He's not coming to Lsu
He may not be, but no one truly knows for sure. The fact your last 20+ post have been the exact same thing about “he’s not coming here” or “since he left without signing he won’t be here” shows that you’re an obsessive negatiger. You’re not bringing anything to the board posting the same thing in every thread. Do you know we signed players that visited and then left without signing while here? Do you know how many people on here said “we’ll never fire BK” “we’ll never hire LK”, the fact of the matter is none of us know.

He was gone when he left Baton rouge. Face it move on
You probably said the same thing when our QB1 left.

Move on already
Do you wish LSU would’ve moved on from Sam Leavitte? Moved on from Caden Durham when he put his name in the portal? Should we have moved on and not recruited Leonard Fournette because he took visits to other schools and made us wait before picking us? It’s not your time or money so if our head coach thinks the player is important enough to wine and dine, chase, recruit, offer a bunch of money then he’s obviously important. ANY kid that’s elite you have to recruit heavily and put time in, because every other school in the country is trying to get them also. It’s recruiting. The days of players coming to a school for pride are over, they’re going to go to whoever offers the most money and gives them the best chance to succeed and get to the league.
To take the number 1 qb and number 1 LT in year one of a coaching change is huge. Those are also the 2 positions we were most in need of.

Def will but im big on berry being a great back in this offense. Rather have him over lacy in 2026
I know I’m in the minority and I’m a big fan of Berry, but I just can’t understand anyone saying they’d rather Berry over the top rb in the SEC last year, and one of the top in the country. He proved he’s a work horse that can handle a lot of carries, secures the ball, and even with a ton of carries and going deep in the playoffs playing top teams he still averaged more YPC then Berry. KL is proven, we know what he can do. Berry is going off potential. Now, I’m very happy with our rb room and very happy to get Durham back. He had as much hype or even more after his freshman year than Berry has gotten after this season. So I wouldn’t sleep on him being Rb1 if healthy. He has better ball security, better in blitz pick up, and has more experience. Either way, it’s a good problem to have. We went from a paper thin rb room last year to quality depth this year.

We're pretty full
No we’re not, we have plenty of room before we’re close to 105 players. Also, you don’t turn away, a plug and play, starting LT. From everything I’m seeing they’re saying he’s a 1st round top 15 type of player.
Yep and we may not be done yet! Still some huge names out there uncommitted. I’d love to get a stud, plug and play LT. I’d love to add a stud edge guy. I think another good DT would be great, and then maybe another CB unless they think one of our safeties will move to cb. If we don’t add anyone else it was still a great portal!
re: Some Ole Miss On3 melts for your viewing pleasure

I know this will change, based off the amount of Ole Miss players hitting the portal recently, but do they not realize we currently only have 1 Ole Miss player signed? We have more players from Florida and Tennessee. They have as many LSU players signed as we do Ole Miss players. Every team who goes through a coaching change always has players hit the portal, of course there’s are later because they were playing football still last week.
I know he inherited a super talented bama team, and in year one only won 9 games, but he did make the playoffs in his second year and he’s beat our arse. He also brought Washington to a national championship and has a top high school recruiting class. Anyone after Saban was never gonna match his success.

I mean it’s a LSU based forum. LSU hasn’t had a reason to be excited about football in years. Now we hire a rival’s coach, that has been killing it recruiting in his short time here. We’re excited. It’s no different than any other fan base when something good happens. There’s just more of us on this forum.

Lane knows if he doesnt make the playoffs year one that seat will start to get warm
Lane will get a minimum of 3 years no matter what, unless there’s a scandal or something. Probably a minimum of 4. LSU has put all their eggs in the Lane basket.
