Tuzz, that's a nice looking pond. I really like the rock pier, I had thought about doing something similar, but ended up buiding the dock. Pottsy hit the nail on the head as far as pulling the dock out, afraid of ice damage. I had thought of a wind powered aerator,but it was a bang for the buck decision. After purchasing the 48 acre property Jan 02, and putting in a 1500' driveway so freinds and family could enjoy, money tightened up a little. Expenditures for the pond have been stocking bluegills and fatheads(there were none), and material for the dock (built it myself,and you know the price of the floatation). The pondwas built by the previous owner (an operating engineer) in the early 70's, he used it to raise and sell LMB. The bass were stunted at 8 to 12 inches, but now we are catching bass up to 15 and 16 inches with little bellies on them
