I do know what you mean there. I use to live about an hour north of here and there were three great crappie ponds up there that i used to fish. But since moving down here all you can find is LMB and CC ponds. Not much on them. I love to hit the big stripers and walleye when i go to the lake but have kids who all love to fish and want a place that i can fish with them after school and catch good quality fish. We live about an hour and a half from every major lake around here and all my kids have fished before and they are a little older and want quality fish. So thanks to a friend making my dream of a good sized pond come true I can now have a place to have friends and family over where we can get together and have a quality place to fish in my front yard. I realize it is going to be fun and frustrating at the same time but man will it be worth it. Good luck on completeing your pond and keep in touch so we can share notes.
