Building a flooded food plot - 07/26/16 09:26 PM
Ok guys. I am thinking about building a flooded food plot below my pond this spring or summer. I want to know if its a good idea or not.
Currently my 3.5 acre lake holds a decent amount of ducks. The problem is it varies year to year because the water level varies. This pond has about 1 acre of shallow (2-4) feet. Which is perfect for ducks. By the end of a dry spring and summer there is not much shallow left and far away from the blind.
Would it be a good idea to build a flooded food plot area just below the damn Would majority of the ducks go to the big water or fly into the flooded area with Millet planted?
I would pull water from a stock tank which has no fish and no cattle and the rest from the big lake depending on the year.
Thanks in Advance
