Great idea Bob! I'll be reading this one daily as well. Ok a question... You say the caretaker retired in 2014. Up until then, did he continue to actively manage the ponds even though the owners lost interest? Still feeding BG, culling bass, etc? If yes, then the question is what happened to a great fishing hole in 5 years when all management suddenly stopped?
