I'd Hate to be a Bream in My Pond

I was checking out my pond this morning.

Chip decided to help them out by scaring off the bass.

I need to add more structure for them to hide, and also get some of the little bass out.

At first I thought you were using an underwater camera until chip came into view!

That "shoal" of mud had washed in this year, and I was going to remove it with the excavator to get to the original bank, but when I saw how much the shallow water protected the small bream from the bass, I'm thinking of coming up with some sort of structure I could build and lay out around the shoreline, shallow enough for the baby bream, but somehow would float or otherwise adjust to the changing water level.  

I pump springwater init the pond during the summer to keep the water level up and keeps the water real clear so I can watch the fish.

Thats also why my Piranha bream are so mean, they want some payback to the bass when they grow up.
