Just wanted to check in and introduce myself - long time lurker who has benefited over the years from the wealth of information on the forum.We have a roughly 12 acre lake behind our house in central NC which was a tremendous fishery 15 years ago but has now diminished to a shadow of what it once was - only stunted bass (and not many of them) OK bream fishing and a few crappie now. Our 3 1/2 year old is very excited about fishing (as am I) and I am looking forward to taking on the project of getting our pond back to life. Thanks in advance for any / all suggestions on my future posts!
