Pond Boss Forums INTRO New Forum Member Introduction New member

Hi my name is timnic. I am the newly elected lake manager for a small community in Perkinston ms. We have a main lake that is 100 acres. Also there are 6 ponds that range from 1/2 to 10 acres.

I dont know a lot about lake management so will need some help.

Hey Timnic,,,I just barely beat you in the door....but it seems that a fellow can get some good ideas here and it seems to be a fairly friendly place, so welcome to you.....come on in and we'll look around and if we like the place, we just might buy it....ha

Timnic, you have definitely found the right place to get answer for pond/lake management. Often the biggest challenge one faces when managing community owned bodies of water is the community is a bit ont he stingy side when it comes to funding proper management. Do you know if you have a budget, if so, how much?

With so many different size bodies of water, you have many options to produce some great fishing of many different kinds.

Like CJ said, budget and a clear consensus of the goals for each BOW is very important. It's hard to hit a moving target, and without a realistic budget along with a realistic time frame, things can be very difficult to accomplish.

With that said, you are in the right place.

We defiantly how some hurtles to jump in the financial realm. I am trying to identify the property owners that have an interest in fishing. Maybe we can get them to kick in a little extra to get things done
