David...I have seen those rakes and thought about getting one. What did your buddy do with all the vegetation once he raked it out? Burn it? How long do you think it stays pretty clear? I guess if done right it may last half the summer of being a lot more clear of the vegetation? It would seem like pond mgt companies would offer this service, but it seems like they go a different direction and that makes we wonder how effective raking really is. But hey does your buddy need extra work? I will hire him..LOL This is my first summer with the property, besides stocking lots of Tilapia I was kind of just watching to see what happens. With the scorching heat during July/August I don't spend a lot of time out there. Hope to have aeration in place by next Spring along with more tilapia and maybe some grass carp. Can't wait to see some pics of your place. Sounds like you have a great palette to start with.
