I actually have used the river boat in my perch pond. Twice, in fact.

Before I had the diffused aeration system going there were two instances of a blue-green algae bloom starting, so I backed the boat in just deep enough to fully submerge the jet pump and gave the pond a good stirring.

I’m looking forward to getting on the water with the new trolling motor setup. This one has integrated GPS, and it will connect, directly or networked, to current generation Garmin chart plotters/graphs.

Do you use barley straw in the pond?

Rain tonight here late; thunderstorms with chance of a brief tornado. Normal spring weather.
