350 may be reasonable for a while, but once they start hitting 14"-16", start harvesting them. Once the coontail is gone, the CC's are going to fatten up real quick...Then get skinny from no more food source.
Old Christmas trees make good and free structure after Christmas. Make sure there is no tinsel or other decorations on the trees before you put them in.
Since your pond is so old and shallow, have you thought about putting any muck reducer in it? It will help improve the depth.
I've heard of using Christmas trees and we probably will have to add some structure once the coontail is gone. I'll have to check into the much reducer. Thanks!
