The state LDWF guys came out today. I was a little disappointed with the short amount of time the boat was in the water. They made one quick lap around the edge of my pond. To me, they were going a little fast because I was just able to see glimpses of fish. They handed me a net but I would not have been able to catch anything if I wanted. All we saw were some small bluegill and a handful of small bass. It's a free service, so I could not complain but I just thought they would have taken there time and at least given me more boat time. I really didn't learn anything about the pond because all I saw were a few skinny bass and some small bluegill. Did not see any crappie or catfish. Was hoping to find some crappie and then remember where they were for future angling. Seems to me they could have gone slower and shocked more fish. I think they spooked all the fish before they got close enough to them.
Next thing on the agenda is to purchase some 50 pound bags of Navigate (as per Greg Grimes recommendation) and kill some water lilies.
This fall we plan to stock a 20 to 25 grass carp (triploids), if not, then next spring for sure.
