Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Texas in July

EW, yes I have seen that Jackson and your area has been getting some. SE Walthall also. The pond is just NW of town a few miles. Got 1 1/2 " with hail today, but the ground just drinks it up. Had about 2" mid July. Other than that, a few sprinkles. Oh well, if it dries up, then we can get in and redo it. Otherwise I am going to dig a small hole and transfer some better fish, clear the dam, tear it up and redo it. Just want a few fish while the grandkids are small. I have 6 of them from 2 months to 9 yrs. The earthmover we know is slowing down some from the Katrina cleanup.

BTW...Lake Walthall just reopened in Oct. and besides lack of rain is apparently leaking. Very low. $ several million and not holding. People are not happy.

Uh-oh !! I bet someone is catching it over that.

Hi everyone, Here is a funny one about Texas.
