Piney woods in S.E. La. Are you in one of the Florida Parishes, a-ron?
Sorry I didn't find your thread in early 2012.
Very nice looking place, but when your water clears, you might have a problem with vegetation growing up from the bottom of the pond since you have only seven or so feet of water. You might want to research ways of attempting to control that issue.
I opted to fertilize heavily in an attempt to keep a fairly heavy bloom which deprives the plants of sunlight.
I'm interested in knowing which course of action you decide upon should your pond develop the problem.

A-ron,
What kind of grass is that? Is it rye? It would make a good turf if a warm-weather grass.
1 ac pond LMB, BG, RES, CC

update: i picked up 700 CNBG, 100 RES, and 10# of FHM back in march. i didn't get any good pics of us stocking them but my wife snapped a few after. this was in one little area  i will picking up about 100 LMB next weekend or the following. i'll make sure i get some better pics next time. my water has cleared up nicely with about a foot and a half of visibility. both the FHM and CNBG have spawned and there are a ton of fry now. i was weed eating this morning and i guess i made it out there for feeding time. i saw about 6, 3" CNBG tear up some minnows. i can't wait to get the bass in there. should be a bloodbath

well, I got the LMB this morning. all 100 made the trip safely. i didn't get any pics at all though  . my wife was sad because the bass immediately went for deeper waters unlike the other fish we stocked. we sat there for a while and saw a few eating minnows, and a few getting harassed by momma minnows. i put them in right next to a floating pallet that the FHM were spawning at so they shouldn't have any trouble finding food. my next update will either be after i plant some cypress trees and iris or after my first catch next year. thanks again pond boss for all the good info!
