Hi All,
It's been awhile since I've been on the forum. I was getting too addicted to the site and with pond topics all together.
I spent quite a bit of money digging my own 10 acre lake and stocking it. Now, 4 years later, I'm catching fish and really enjoying it.
I have a couple of problems right now. We've basically had no run off rain here for about a year. My lake is about 4 feet low and I'm just hoping to catch a frog strangler before summer gets here. You guys can't help with that, but I know you would if you could.
My second problem is grass in the lake. I think this stuff came in with wood ducks a couple of years ago and it's way past out of control now. I took some pics and hope you can help me with elimination of at least the majority of this stuff so I can fish the shallows again.
I read a bunch on this site about 6 months ago. This stuff does not have a minty smell when rubbed between the fingers. It basically feels like a limp grass and smells like lake water.
Any and all help is appreciated. Feel free to ask questions.
I'll throw in a couple of non grass related pics for your enjoyment. I caught this fish about a month ago. It's just shy of 4 years old.
This Bass weighed a little over 7 pounds.
We had a sure enough gully washer about two springs ago and I think a bunch of my larger Bass went over the spillway and down into the bayou behind the house. I guess that's just one of the downfalls of having a spillway for level control.
