Drawdown complete! I went about 2 feet down and added a big 10 inch blue drain pipe. I also added some big stones from the bank to back and inside of this area. The land goes downhill considerbly from back of pond so watershed wont be a problem. we are on high ground then 20 feet from pond drops about 30 feet for 30 acres. Thanks for the help and i'll let ya know what happens.
