Thanks for the warm welcome, and the advice!
Here is the rough Idea I have in my mind. three ponds:
Smallmouth 3 acres
Redear Sunfish
crayfish
Rockbass 1 acre
crayfish
fatheads
those two ponds are pretty set in my mind. the 3rd pond is up for grabs. but what I do know is I want it to be around 5 acres with LMB and some type of BG or maybe YP.
this is the very rough outlook on the 3rd lake.
LMB/F1
BG/CNBG/YP
still undecided about the 3rd lake and open to suggestions/arguements for one or the other.
The reason I would like the Rockbass pond is due to the quailty fishing these guys have given me here in my hometown. Same goes for the smallies.
