Huntmaster, I am hoping you can find the problem and educate us. I have the same issue in my MI pond. I was told by a not-so-helpful neighbor that a bullhead or two were bucket stocked in my pond. I have chocolate milk colored water as of 10 days ago whereas at ice out it was looking pretty clear.
I'm thinking bullhead, or crayfish. How many bullhead would you guess you have to remove? Did you stock papershells or have you been able to catch native crayfish that found their way into your pond with your minnow traps?
I don't know if juglines or trotlines work for BH but I don't have a lot of time for fishing with a bobber. Something I could leave and check later would be good, but I also have to worry about the desirable fish taking the bait too...
