Pat, I think most of your answers are contained in their report. They do good work and they have seen the pond/s.

ML,
I agree with alot you said. I think some folks have mutiple goals that can not as you mention work on one pond. I love it when a client has a 12 acre pond but also a 3/4 acre and a 2 acre. We can managae for other scenarios in the smaller but in the bigger make it for their "trophy" bass situation.

Ok to my point I strongly disagree with the concept that 3 5 acre ponds are better than a 15 acre pond, IF you want a pond like Pat describes. TO produce mutilpe 15 bass per day rate and occasional (more frequent) 7 lb bass this is much easier on 15 acre body of water. It is simple math you can not produce many 7 lb bass in a small body of water. If simply wanting 15/day then I see your point but the chance of mutiple 7 lb bass becomes more difficult the smaller the pond. I hope you see my point, I look forward to your thoughts.

On another note you mentioend the tried and true. I know what your trying to say and I know you know there is no tried and true. However yes you can get the results you want this way. What you think of as tried and true is what exactly? Supplemental feeding is not t and t it is "new" in GA. ...tell you what I will start another thread right now and post what I think is tried and true and real quick what I recomend for Pat's goals, so take and look and comment. thanks
