Ken, Thanks for the reply. I'm sure the grandkids will want to do some swimming, but my main goal is to have a nice looking pond and some great fishing. I love to catch fish and eat fish of all kinds. I love to catch and eat bluegill and shell cracker. My son who will inherit this pond and plans on building over looking this pond, in the next few years,loves LMB. I guess that would be my number one goal is really nice LMB. I guess the thing I am most confused by is Crappie. I love to catch and eat them as well. I grew up fishing for Crappie with my dad and loved every minute of it,but most everything I have heard and read does not recommend stocking Crappie. I guess I'm not sure what my goals should be because I'm not sure what's possible. I'm willing to do the work and spend the money, as long as it doesn't break me, to make it the best it can be. I'm just not sure what that is.
