Hey fellers, long time lurker just wanting to introduce myself. I own a 1/10 acre pond (hopefully dug to about 1 acre next year). When I bought the place it looked like chocolate milk and was full of mudcats and huge gizzard shad. Fast forward to last summer I shocked the pond with hydrated lime and as far as I could tell killed everything in it. I've also added about 1/2 ton ag lime. Ive bucked stocked about 25 bluegill, 7-8 red ear and 5 14 inch LMB from the neches river. Currently hand feeding optimal once a day if I can. Pond is doing great except for my first fa bloom and I recently spotted bg and lmb fry. Anyways thanks for all the information on here I've spent many 12 hour shifts reading through this forum.
