I bought a pool water kit today and checked my water, here are the results:
Hardness 50
Chlorine 0
Free chlorine 0
pH 7.0
alkalinity 60
cyanuric acid 0
Recently, water clarity has improved as well. I even found a few beds where my BG that were 2 inches added last fall have already spawned.

If accurate, that water chemistry is excellent.
What are your goals?

Top priority is to have a chance at a few 5lb plus largemouth while keeping plenty of BG for the kids to catch.
Thanks Bob

Manage your food chain, make sure your bass have plenty of forage fish and set up a feeding program for your bluegills, if you haven't already done that.

Thanks Bob, I have been hand feeding every evening and most mornings with Optimal Jr. I do have a feeder, but I am waiting for the water to drop and warm a little before I get in it to build a small dock. Then I plan to put the feeder out on the dock.
