My incoming water quality varies based on samples taken to the Freestone County Exension office. The south end of my lake actually extends beyond my fenceline so I didn't get results from what is the primary source but the three others had the following readings for pH and Alakilinity respectively:

Spring 1 (10.1 / 27.2)
Spring 2 ( 4.5 / 14.7)
Spring 3 ( 5.5 / 20.4)
Spillway ( 5.0 / 20.4)

From a goals standpoint, I'd like to raise some quality LMB (>6 lbs) for family and friends to catch but pressure will be generally light and I'd like to retain enough quantity to keep the beginner LMB / BG fisherman entertained. To date, the biggest fish we've caught has probably been about 4lbs with the average probably at 0.75lbs.

Like many others I've read about, we're over run with stunted 8-12" LMB and we're removing all we catch but our fishing pressure to this point of the year has been light.

All in all, it sounds like I might need to revisit the liming activity to get that Alkalinity level up and just work around my logistic challenges. It's been awhile since I've tested lime prices. What are you seeing out there these days?

Thanks again for all the insight..
