just finished my pond

[Zachary Boy]

My Dad had a pond built about 20 years ago. He made it 80' x 300'. He then bought a seine net 100'wide and 10' deep. We would seine every other year to control fish population and get 'trash' fish out. Worked out well. There was nothing like the feeling when we got to the end of the pull and had a 400# wad of catfish in the net. I was the poor sap that had to skin catfish for two days, but I always kept a freezer full of fish. I wouldn't recommend throwing Christmas trees and a bunch of junk in your pond for this reason. By the way the bass were hard to catch. We would see them coming full speed on top the water and jump the net.(better than Sea World) They are pretty atheletic. Although the pond has been neglected (my sister got that tract of land) ,we had many good times there. I hope you and you family enjoy yours as much as we did...
