lol.. I learned in the Navy to have a very thick skin.. :P

Cannot promise no drones... but since I do not have one, they will be a long time comin.. heh

I really would think to shy away from any catfish. While they are easy and fun, I tend to see most ponds have those OR other fish.. and I prefer the "other". To me, I'd love to see a pond where the kids could pull in all sorts of fish like crappie etc... with minnows. I can catch cats all the time with whatever, but the real fun comes from a lightweight tug on a bobber with a cold beer sitting by the side.. heh

Now, getting my wife to LET me dig the pond.. well, that will take as long as the planning wink

I'll check out google in a few!:)
