About how many pounds of bluegill could one expect to harvest from a well managed 1/2 acre pond? The pond water depth mix is currently 1/3 0 to 4 feet, 1/3 4-8 feet, and 1/3 8-18 feet deep. I have an excavator coming to do some work. I'm thinking about expanding this pond to 2/3 acre. Would it be better to keep the depth profile mix I have, or increase the 0-4 foot area? It seems that would boost productivity? The area I'm thinking about expanding is in the back (first pic) or the lower area a bit to the right in the second pic below.

Would those that say "it can't be done" please refrain from interrupting those that are doing it...
