Hello,

My dad just bought a new property and it has a 50 acre lake on it. The property down the road from us stocked there lake a while back and there is a creek that runs from there property to our property. When it rains, that creek gets full and all the fish swim down the creek into our lake. Our lake is overstocked with fish. We have alot of bass and crappie maybe a few cats too havent tried fishing for tehm yet. Only been crappie and bass fishing out there once and everyone I caought looked unhealthy, you could tell it was overstocked. I want to do something to help out the fish for food and cover. I am not sure what to do though. I am thinking about finding a cheap fish feeder and put it out on the dock and feed them so all the fish will get food. Anyone know of one or someone who is getting rid of one please let me know. What do you guys think this will do to the fish? Also I want to give the fish some cover for spawning, etc. It is all open with no tree or anything. What should I do to make some shade and cover for the fish? I thought about cutting some of the trees down out there and putting them in the water around the shore lines. What do you think this will do for the fish? Help or not? If you have any suggestions on what to do with this lake property please let me know. We are overloaded with fish and not everyone can eat, and all the fish I have caught out of there are all beat up and small. Any suggestions?

Thanks Robert
