I have a 1/3 acre pond in Lumberton (SE Texas),which is an average of 8 feet deep, ranging from 4' shallow to 12' maximum depth. Little to no vegetation in pond, bermuda grass around edges; structure consists of 15 sunken concrete culverts. The pond has been full for about 6 months old, but it still has not cleared. It is stocked as follows: 100 hybrid bluegill (1-2" fingerlings), 100 redear (1-2" fingerlings), 30 bass (1-2" fingerlings), and 12 pounds of fatheads. I have no catfish and no livestock. There are five ducks (3 pekin, 2 mallard). Should I consider lime or gypsum? Any and all advice - on muddy water or otherwise - is welcome to this pond novice.
