Not only has fishiding artificial fish habitat been used in private lakes and ponds for aquatic balance, but the pro’s in bass and crappie fishing on getting on-board fast. Since hitting the market just over two years ago, fishiding artificial fish attractors are taking fish habitat to a whole new level. For years fisherman and pond owners have been putting an array of products in their waters to provide much needed habitat for fish and aquatic life. Natural wood products continue to be used with success, only for a limited time. The industry has turned it’s direction towards artificial pvc products that won’t rot and stay forever in place.
The west Virginia Bass Federation has begun a pilot program with the fishiding fish habitat products to see if they can resolve a problem they have in many of their waters. Seems that they have trouble getting algae to grow quickly if at all on fish structure they have used in the past. These guys and gals put in countless hours of their own time to build, install and maintain hundreds of fish structures throughout the state.
What we know about fishiding is that it grows algae fast everywhere it has been installed, now in over 40 states. High water and flooding has kept the units from being installed but soon will be in the water holding fish. Much better than buried in a landfill.
The Bass Federation is hoping to install fishiding artificial fish habitat products throughout the state waters as well as all the states but two in the nation. Only Hawaii and Alaska do not have a Bass Federation chapter , with all the others eagerly involved. Stay tuned for results and information as to where the units have been installed.
Recently, fishiding.com was contacted by the West Alabama Crappie association and the Tenn Tom Crappie Club to sponsor their next two tournaments. These folks love to fish and install habitat, especially for crappie. Numerous sizes and models of fish habitat made from reclaimed pvc will be raffled off and awarded to winners at various events. Fishiding products are all made with an entirely green approach from the pvc material to the cardboard and newspaper used in shipping. All measures are taken to re-use and reclaim products to save the environment as well as the final cost.
Fishiding.com offers sizes of fish habitat from small Koi and garden pond fish made from fine strands of pvc, to large 84″ diameter fish attractors with wide flat limbs to cast maximum shade for the largest of predators.
Coming soon will be pre-packaged bundles of rigid sticks of pvc to be used as stakebeds. This stiff, long lasting material will hold crappie right where you want them and only you will know the spot.
Another often forgotten or looked over step in the process is actual fish habitat design. In the past only a few types of artificial fish habitat were available and manufacture’s seem to assume folks know what to do. We have learned that there is a great deal of thought that can and should go into habitat placement planning. With the various sizes, textures and shapes of fish attractors fishiding.com now offers, the blueprint for sucesss has never been so attainable. Depending on a clients goals, many choices are available. Shallow water cover to protect and grow fry and forage is now available exclusively with the fishiding cradle and garden pond sizes. Mid depth fish structure comes in the safehouse model, designed to give fish a route to follow as they move from 2-4 foot depths in to the 6-10 foot range. Once fish have grown to the optimal predator size, they will hide and hunt in the deeper water on the edge of the main lake basin. This is where the keeper model excels in holding large fish.
