Thanks, guys. Almost missed this thread. Yes, Cecil, I think it would be great for you to post updates.
Here's my blocking net in place with the belt feeder looking to the south end of the pond. I should have done this two months ago!
Here's a longer view of the entire perch production pond looking north. Notice I dropped the water level a little to make sure there was plenty of slack for the seine.
Edit: When I went out to feed this evening I noticed a large painted turtle on the inside of the net. I'm hoping he won't try and chew his way out. If so everything I'm trying to do is in vain. I'm going to try and remove him ASAP tonight with whatever means necessary.
