I have a 1 acre pond very close to the shore of a tidal lake (Calcasieu Lake) in Louisiana. When I first dug it 2 1/2 yr ago the water was clear. I tried to stock it with catfish and blue gills but most of them died. Right after that hurricane Rita destroyed my home. I've been so busy rebuilding my home the pond was just simply ignored. Now that I'm nearly through with rebuilding my home, I took a look at the pond and I don't quite know what to do with it. It's got some big gar, speckle trouts, red fish, blue crabs. All the species I can find in the big ole lake behind my house. I'm not quite sure what to do with that pond at the moment. What do you suggest?

PS: It was quite fun to get several 16-18" trouts and red fish out of the pond. They came in with the storm tide.
