I can honestly report that I used words and phrases previously directed only at green sunfish and the IRS.

TJ, sounds like you've thought this through, and experimented with it....my experience requires me to be a little skeptical, but since this is a growout pond rather than a several acre BOW, there's not much to lose, even if something does go wrong. Especially since the phrase "I told you so" has been outlawed amongst the bretheren and is legal only when deployed by spouses.
