OK. I have taken everyone's advice and I have my blocking net in hand 4'x 50' 1/4" Mesh. I hope to get it set up this coming weekend. If so I'll send pictures. It has floats on top and lead weights on the bottom.I expect to have an area of about 7-900 sq. ft.(Surface area) from 0 to 3 feet in depth. Questions:

1)Should I try to keep the top of the net out of the water of let the floats take care of that. I plan on staking it.

2)How many Red ear for that area.

3)When do I release them? This year or next spring/summer

4)Should I put some Fat heads in that area?
