So I took the kayak out with a "redneck" Secchi disk and I figure the water is clear to just under two feet. While paddling I measured around and it appears, as it stands now, the pond is five feet at its deepest point, with another foot of water expected when I install the new drain cover.
I also have a friend in the heavy construction industry (actually, the same guy who's finishing up my drain cover) and I think he can hook me up with a small backhoe and operator. Maybe I can get around the shore with it.
Soooo, that's where I'm at. I appreciate the advice.
