yes Essup about 28 ft deep. There are 3 draws feeding it the east, middle (where my son is walking) and the west. starting at the upper east water level and walking to the upper west water level its about 1500 ft long, shaped like a U and averages 250ft wide. it gets deep quick everywhere and has about 1,000 ft or so of limestone bluffs in 4 to 7 ft of water or close to it. Managed just a little bit I could see some wallhangers coming out of here. P.S. still working on my photbucket skills.

You're stopping up some serious draws. Ought to be nice when finished.
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.

I would guess 6 to 7 acres of water. Very long U shape but narrow.
