Congratulations Wickedihere! Like ol' Hannible used to say on the A team, "I love it when a plan comes together."  Don't you?
If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.

Hey wicked...your water looks pretty muddy like mine. I think our ponds were dug about the same time if I recall. I remember being envious when yours filled with all the rain you had last year. I've just posted another post about stocking bluegill and catfish in muddy water, but yours seem to be doing well. How much visibility do you have? Have those fish grown since you stocked them? Do you feed?
Your post makes me hopeful.
Thanks.

i'm REALLY impressed at how long you were able to keep from fishin it wicked......nice fish all the way around. how many pounds was the redfish?
notice the light coloration on the BG.....i take it this is pretty typical for fish living in muddy water?
fish on....
GSF are people too!

Poland_jack i have no visibility at all. I do feed them twice a day. I have limed my pond and sometimes it seems to clear up a little then it rains or its windy and it gets muddy again. I just planted grass around my pond so i hope that will help with the muddy runoff. DIED the redfish was 25 pounds, i have been trying to fish my pond some more but its so windy here it makes it hard to fish.

Yeah, for some reason, lack of sunlight penetration causes loss of pigmentation in the fish. It's temporary.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Congratulations WIH! That's what it's all about! It makes me want to go fish my pond right now. What's the best tackle for FH minnows?  That's a big cat man. How big were they when you stocked them, and when did you stock them?
