First I would like to say, thank you for an excellent site for thoughts and ideas.

I am a married, middle aged, wife and son. We live on the coast out side of Savannah Ga and have saltwater fished forever. Due to the population growth in this area, we decided to trade the boats for goats and purchased a 35 acre parcel of land in the country.

The property has planted pines and is exceptional raw land. We plan for a small home, flower and vegetable garden. We believe in wildlife conservation and will be working with the local WMA and county extension division for assistance.

The property presently has a "water hole", about .9 acres and is about 4' deep. We have ideas of increasing the total area to about 2 acres and 12' deep. I am sure the depth will possibly change after learning from the members on this site, but I would like to plan for an exceptional environment to raise bluegill.

Thank you all in advance for advice and comments.
