We had a pond built this summer. It should be just over an acre when it is full. With the recent rain, it is about 30% full. I have been scouring the web for all the information that I can gather. I am in NE Alabama and want the pond to provide good bluegill fishing for the family, and an extra source of table fare. I don't care a lot for bass fishing and am considering bluegill, shellcracker, catfish and maybe black crappie. I have already added fathead minnows and a handful of crawfish from a nearby creek. Numerous large rocks were saved from excavation and have been added for structure, as well as a few small trees, and some old tires.
Any advice, do and don'ts or recommendations are appreciated.
