only about 2 feet from full \:\) My herringbone pattern deck wasted a lot of lumber, but i like the way it turned out \:\)


don't want any precious topsoil in my pond!

thinking out loud here.. We do not eat much fish, so i don't want to be be harvesting alot. Catchability is important , however. With those parameters in mind here are a couple of scenerios I should consider.

1.cnbg,res,mosquito fish,female only lmb and maybe a few hsb.
Pros:minimal harvest requirements.
cons: I wonder about catchability. I bet those lmb would get impossible to catch after awhile.

2. hybrid bluegill..not sure what else would fit with this fish, but i understand catchability is very good. I guess the cons, would be the undesirable offspring. Maybe i would need some other non-reproducing predator..but i guess you would need another forage source also.

3. cnbg,res,lmb..and let the lmb stunt, generating a pond with big bg, and small,hungry bass. I haven't really seroiusly considered this option, but maybe i should. It sounds like this may actually have the best catchability potential.

I appreciate all the feedback from you guys. this really has been fun.
