Thanks for the info,Steve. We have been told that it will not shock good as it is a bowl dug pit. If you go 3 ft. off the bank it drops to 11-13 ft. Gizzards came with the last flood and are growing fast. Tilapia are banned in Va. The pond was never stocked as it floods from the Mattaponi River. It has no watershed and is fed by underground springs. We never take out any bass but we don't go up but on the weekend so other people do poach both ponds. Ther are at least 20 diff. spieces of fish in the back pond. we had a bad drought last year and the big bass got sores early so I quit fishing for them in May and worked on the croppie and catfish. Do you think it would be a good idea to stock 15 in. bass this fall?

Two ponds, 13 and 15 acres on the Mattaponi River.
