Do yall ever come inside, take your hat off but it feels like its still on your head?? Or is it just me? Only if I hid the grits in my hat so I wouldn't have to eat the %^*# and forgot before putting it back on.

So coming back to the real topic, if there is one, I am going to see the property tomorrow evening. So if you have something you want me to look for or check out that hasn't been mentioned go ahead and put it out here.

Nicky...we're sorry for the hijack...The main points to consider were covered. There are bound to be other things to look for, but of far less concern and normally easier to handle if needing any attention.

Haha I was just joking. I wasn't really seeing it as a hijack. It was much amusing. And as said the main points are covered. What else should happen in an intro thread?

Nicky, we're not really sorry for the hijack. We do it all the time to each other.
Besides, a lot of this stuff is educational and grits are an important consideration down South.
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.

LOL I don't care about the hijacking as long as questions get answered in the mix. Don't want the place to be boring and all. Now Friday I went out to the property location and learned somethings. Originally it looks like the pond was about two feet higher than it is now. One of the pipes put in by the county feeds into the marshlands / watershed to help with those levels. The other pipe actually feeds the other two ponds that the neighbor owns. I guess the neighbor asked the original owners for help and they obliged. In addition one thing I noticed was along the road and going around the side of the pond to the neighbors two ponds was a trench. When I asked about this they told me that the previous owners dug this to keep rain water from the road from polluting their pond and instead feed it into the neighbor's pond. I also saw some hatchling fish around the edges of the pond and they told me that there is some LMB, Bream, CC, and they weren't sure but for weed control they said they think there is some Grass Carp in the pond as well. Now the nice thing is that the fingerling area has a gate in front of it so there is a chance for the fingerlings to grow before releasing them out to the rest of the lake.

If you want to find out how big your pond is, and it's on the map, go here: http://www.acme.com/planimeter/

That is a neat little tool. I had also found this tool for mapping it out. Both say about the same as the images that it is 1.8 acres almost 1.9. So I definitely like the size of the piece of lake and total for the house is almost 6 acres of property as well. So it is a good bit of land.
