Hey, Buzz, esshup's advice is dead on - that concentration is the key to success. Are you aware that Greg Grimes (
www.lakework.com) has a phenomenal deal for PB subscribers?

In case you're looking, he'd be a great resource!
I wish you the best of luck - in my short pond ownership time, I can tell you that watermeal is the single worst thing I have experienced, and that includes a dam in another pond that was screwed up by muskrats. I'd take that over watermeal any day. At least I can shoot the muskrats and get a little satisfaction!
