I appreciate all the advice I really do. I guess my main goal is to have fun, a few fish dinners a year and be able to fish a couple days every month. Never thought of hsb only. Ill have to seriously sonsider that!
At first I figured ill catch and stock some bg and lmb and have a big bass pond. Thank god I found this forum and researched how to create a good fishery and avoid a stunted mess. It bothers me that the pond is muddy but I have done a jar test and it settles in a few days so I assume its wind. Plenty of gams and some crawfish found in it last summer. Turtles and frogs love this thing as well. There isn't much vegetation and no cover.
Here is a stupid question..when you sink in to your ankle in the shallows is that muck? If so it has that. Does aeration help that?
