Long time listener, first time poster... Looking for aeration designer/consultant/installer for 5 acre pond in south central indiana. We have approx 5 acre pond with max depth of +/- 22' around Martinsville Indiana that was drained for levee work in 2011. Upon refill in 2012 forage base stockings followed for 2 years before predator fish were reintroduced in 2014. Predators consist of 300 wipers, 300 smallmouth, and 200 walleye. Wiper now average 7-9 lb, SMB now average 3-4 lb, and not sure on the walleye as they are not caught nor fished for very often. Not sure if SMB are successfully reproducing but believe it or not almost think that Walleye might actually be sucessfully reproducing?!? only say that because we are seeing 7"-9" walleye being caught this year when we were catching 13"-14" several years ago Forage base consists of fatheads, shiners, (couple hundred pounds of shiners still put in annually) and bluegill with supplemental feeding of Optimal bass pond feed thrown thru texas hunter fish feeder.
Overall concern being that we are eventually going to hit carrying capacity and experience large loss or we have dreaded late June hail storm and it gets ugly fast. Looking for recommendations on who might be right to design, install, and consult on appropriate aeration system to further growth and/or provide somewhat of a bit of insurance against mother nature. Thanks in advance

I would contact Esshup on here (Scott). He helped me tremendously with my place and IIRC he lives in your state.
