Welcome. You're right, that looks like a great property. Others will come along and provide additional suggestions, but most will tell you to take an inventory of what you have swimming in there before changing/correcting. A quick search will yield a relative weight chart for the types of fish you have. Throw a few get togethers and start pulling fish out. Comparing what you catch to the RW chart can tell you a lot about the balance in your ponds. It would be good to get in a boat and determine depths and how much muck you've got on the bottom. Begin considering aeration. I would also figure out a budget you're willing to spend initially and annually. Docks, toys, feed and feeders, etc are all options, but cost $$$.
Thank you I do love the property. I do plan on doing some fishing to see what I can bring out of there. I agree with finding the depth I'm gonna put a little boat out there and get the average depth with a anchor and some rope but I can tell it is at least 10 ft most likely because right off the bank it has about a 3 ft drop and gradually goes down it seems. As for feeders I plan on building something off the island that will hang over the water and give a consistent feeding with a automatic feeder. I don't think I'm gonna add a dock I like the look of it without one and I can reach most of the pond easily from side to side. As for aeration I need to read more into it, I've never ran a aerated system to a pond before. Thanks for the advice
