Pond Boss Forums POND CONSTRUCTION Creating habitat How many turtles is to many

Hi Guys I have been snooping around Pond Boss Forums for a couple of months now and finally registered today.

I didn't want to hijack Kevin993's thread on his really cool turtle platforms. Which by the way I will be building one this week.

I have a 2.3 acre spring fed pond that stays full year around stocked with LMB's and bluegill. I believe I have a pretty balanced ecosystem here but I was admiring my pond this morning and noticed all the turtles poking their head up out of the water. At one point I counted 23 at one time. I usually try to let mother nature do most of the balancing act but I am curious if I may need to weed out some turtles. I don't have any snappers that I am aware of. All I have seen are red eared turtles. So how many is to many from a fishing stand point?
