Here's the google map image, you can see the houses, as well as the marshland to the northeast. There is no inlet or outlet, and actually, this lake is at a higher elevation than those surrouding it, so when it overflows, it feeds all the smaller ponds nearby. The marshland there and this lake share a lot, there is a big corrugated pipe that runs under the street for water to flow through if one or the other is about to overflow. the "a" is my dad's propery, and actually where that metal pipe is (we call it the culvert).

I've always been told 7.5 ac. Others have been trying to tell me now that it is 10 ac. Who knows. The more and more i got into this mess, the more and more i recognized the amount of ignorance that all parties involved have displayed, lol, myself included. That's why i ask you guys.

Yes, i believe the lake to be pretty infertile. The weeds grow pretty thick, but the water is ridiculously clear.
Thanks for your input, Bill.

The fish would stay out of trouble if it could just keep its fool mouth shut.
Turns out there is a lot I should be learning from the fish.
