Columbus is only about 3 hours from us. My dad had surgery up in Phoenix City last year and we were up that way.

I would definitely be interested in discussing a survey. We tossed the idea around last Fall, but never did it.

As far as goals... basically good bass and bream fishing. My wife wants to be able to catch come nice bream/shellcracker and I want to take a buddy bass fishing all along and catch some nice bass.

I would not mind opening it to the public, but under controlled fishing permissions. I don't care to make money and do not mind putting a little into the pond to help maintain it, but I don't want to spend a fortune. I figure allowing some people to fish it will help us catch out some of the fish that need to be caught.
