Also my son had a Original Chadder Bait on. Same color, same trailer not one bite. Over 19 in 5 hours. An I live in Ohio. We fish for 5 bites a day if we are lucky. But 19 keepers is crazy. Best 20 dollars on a bait I have spent. Made me over 6 grand this summer. 👍

Have you looked at those Noram 65 graders? Would a new cutting edge have cut the grass better? I once saw a grader operator use his blade to cut recently paved asphalt. The asphalt was put down the day before and there were starting the next day from where they left off and he tipped his blade till it went into the asphalt like a knife then used the side shift to saw the pavement till it came out. Of course this guy was an old grader hand.

Its all those things. Additionally you do not have to excavate much past your topsoil. We went for 4" of #2 rock, followed by 3 inch's of "crush n run" on top of the geo fabric running 1400 feet. The base layer of #2 rock was to help prevent heavy equipment, concrete trucks, farm equipment, etc from quickly creating ruts.

Do you feel like there will be any drainage issues? That's a pretty long stretch, but I couldn't tell if it has a natural slope towards the ditches. I got a dirt road and 90% of my issues is lack of drainage right now and I've been avoiding trying to tackle such a large project because of it. My road is about half a mile, or about 2.6x longer than the 1000ft stretch you quoted at the start of the video. Also, what sort of place should I look into contacting for the road fabric. Something to google search my area for would be good.
