Thanks George,
Surface aeration is something I considered and will put back on the table for a possible later addition. Additional question, if you dont mind, do you have any idea of where your lbs of fish vs carrying capacity was before the water loss? I have a well to add water, but that has no DO in the addition and am interested in where you think it went poorly for your pond.
Thanks again,
John
John, you do remember early summer 2011 with 100-degree temps?
Lots of Texas ponds went dry – we were lucky to have enough depth for survival.
I have no idea about
lbs of fish vs carrying capacity –
It is my nature to push the envelope – you live by the sword – you die by the sword!
I do know that we were not bass heavy but any trip to our pond that spring we could count on as many 8-10+ inch CNBG as we wanted to catch and a couple or so 4-6 lb HSB.
I was expecting to catch my first 2lb CNBG and 10 lb HSB in fall 2011, but we hit the record temps and drought instead!
Todd Overton said that a surface aerator would have likely saved our fish!
