"You probably wont find a wireless device that is capable of 400 feet for 20 bucks."

Not $20, but I stumbled across an impressive product that provides enterprise class gear at a bargain price. It is Ubitiqui (ubiquiti.com) and they offer an outdoor access point that touts 300M speeds up to 600'. They also offer point-to-point systems to extend internet service for many miles, assuming you can get clear line of sight, comes in 2.4MHZ and 5MHZ.

All the usual disclaimers, found them while trying to get broadband service to my new property.

Careful, small pond, you have to remember that age and treachery will overcome youth and skill every time.

By the way, have you considered stocking flathead catfish in your trout pond? I understand from Cecil that they're excellent companion species.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

You do realize we were kidding about the flatheads right? They would do such a good job of protecting them from predators because they would eat them before the other predators had a chance to. LOL

I have no experience with channel cats and trout but do know they prefer and do best in warm water. Perhaps Rex knows something I don't.

rex didn't recommend them to me I just wanted another species in my pond, and cc are my 2nd favorite fish. I don't really care if they won't grow much they're just something else to watch.

See what I mean, small pond? Never trust anyone over 30.
I nearly changed my screen name to "TOD", Treacherous Old Dude", but reconsidered; coming from yolk sac, folks here might think I was putting on airs.

Small Pond, there are flatheads in PA. They are native to the western part of the state(Mississippi drainage) and have been introduce into the Delaware River drainage and possibly Susquehanna drainage as well.

For a number of years my dad's friend raised both CC and trout in the same pond. The CC survived, but their growth rates were hampered. He built a couple new ponds and has since began raising CC in a different pond. The trout now have their own home. There are still a couple of overgrown and insanely smart CC left in his trout pond. They somehow avoid hooks, arrows, nets, bullets, bird shot and every other attempt to kill them. HAHA

Lucky, or that God had to assign more Angles to watch over your butt than is normally required wink
I resemble this remark...

I'm thinking that fortunate is a better word.

I agree, but I think it was a combination of Angels and luck in more than one instance with me. There were some instances.............. I can't put my finger on what exactly it was right now, but one of the times I thought "A second difference in time would have put me *there* and I'd be dead now."
