Really sweet setting there. Congrats!

Do you have electricity to the pond? If not will you establish electricity? Just wondering about aeration.

My vote is for a SMB, HSB, YP, RES and HBG lake. Spotfin shiner and grass shrimp along with pellet program make up the forage base.

I am unaware of anyone in AL pond management with YP or SMB in their fishery - would be cool to try! I know SMB are in AL reservoirs though, right? You can always switch over to a LMB/BG fishery if the SMB and YP experiment fail.

Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
