i just bought 215 acres in northern georgia, and i want to build a lake around 100 acres. im trying to find out how much this would cost before contracting the job. so please someone let me know. email me at jillnsteve2003@yahoo.com, or reply here on pond boss. i want to build a trophy bass lake, and ive done all the research on stocking, and bought the best pond video ever "big fish small waters", so i have a good idea of what i want to do. being in GA, i dont really need a deep pond, but i do want to have it 14' at its deepest with channesl, islands, drop offs, and plenty of structure and cover, at least 20% of the surface area. i know this sounds large for a private pond/lake, but bigger is better right? so please give your thoughts and any help would be much appreciated. i want the lake to look natural, so not a soup bowl or rectangle. i want plenty of inlets and points and ive already figured out where i want my shallow areas, and the deep area. thanks.
