Thanks for your thoughts. I'd make a live well in a 30 or 55 gallon plastic barrel. I'd keep them in the shade until I put 20 or so in the barrel and then move them. Farm is 205 acres, so just a couple minute truck ride.
I know it won't help those other ponds out, but I think this will be one of my best tools for meeting my harvest goals. My mother-in-law thinks the 12 acre lake is just perfect as it is, but I want more satisfying sport fishing. In three years of ownership, we have only fished the secondary ponds 3-4 times. Mainly stay at the 12 acre lake.
