esshub is correct with his assessment.

His two ponds are within 25 miles of me, and his soil type is very similar to mine. Some clay, with lots of very yellow sand, minimal organics in the sandy soil. His ponds are dug, groundwater ponds as well...


I am starting to get confused�

So let me ask a few simple questions:

Can I establish a pond with Largemouth Black Bass/Bluegill Sunfish/ Redear Sunfish? And a second pond with Smallmouth Bass/Golden Shiner/Redear Sunfish?
Can I �occasionally� remove some fish for consumption?
Can the kids go swimming in the ponds?
Will the fish in the ponds make a �small� dent in the mosquito population?
If I do not want to feed or fertilize, will the fish population be self sustained and grow �slowly�?
Tell me more about the �common carp�. Can they thrive in a Smallmouth Bass and/or Largemouth Black Bass pond? Or do they need a designated pond? How many to stock? Where to buy?

Please clarify.
Thanks & regards,
