I don't think so much that people here are against CC. Just CC are not in many people here's managment goals. But that is the beauty of the ponds being privately owned. You get to decide what species are most important to you, then once you have come up with a clear idea of what you want in your pond and for what reason, ie. do you want CC to eat once a week, or do you want to grow a few whoppers for trophy value, then everyone will be able to pitch in and assist in getting you what you want.

No one here is so closed minded to poo poo on your ideas for your pond, just everyone tries to share their best knowledge and experiences to make ponding as enjoyable as it can be.

So Bluegillerkiller, really try to think about exactly you want from your target species and then everyone can try to help come up with a plan that is great for you.

So maybe try listing your species in order of desirability and what you want out of them - lots to eat, or trophys

To anyone else- if I gave any bad info please call me out on it
