But now I have met 2 members face to face from this site and like the first one it was a very enjoyable visit.
I happened to be reading one of the threads regarding fish stocking and saw someone mention "HOOSIER POND PROS" with a link to their web site so I checked it out.
I was was greeted by the owner and a Hunting Indiana member esshup.
He came out to my home and looked over my pond and is putting together a plan of attack for me to regain control of my pond.
We visited for about 2 hours and found we had a lot in common.
Looking forward to working with him in the future.

He uses the services of me and my boy to do fish management culling from ponds as part of his 12 step program. 😉 lol |

He’s a good guy I pm him half this winter on my pond he always took the time to help me and give advice. I ordered fish food from him came right away. I also am now a proud owner of some of his perch although he never told me deaddeer was fishing them out of somebody’s else’s pond and he’s selling them |

LOL It was great meeting you featherduster and taking a look at your place (it's beautiful BTW). I think the weeds can be controlled pretty easily, and then we'll have to deal with the algae if it becomes a problem next year. If you use Imazapyr or Glyphosate with a wetting agent those are your best two options for that. I like to add a bit of pond dye to the tank mix to show where I sprayed even when spraying on land. The dye dissapears with a rain or in a few days of full sun, even on limestone gravel.
deadeer, I recognize that pond! The Perch are dark aren't they? Because of the tannic acid in the pond from the surrounding woods.
Treetop, you won't see the perch feeding like bluegills, but by looking at the splashes when they are feeding you will begin to tell the differences between the fish that are eating.

I’m sure in time I will figure it out but I can tell the bass and bluegill got it figured it out looks like a bunch of sharks on a feeding frenzy when I feed them.
It’s got so bad I was down at the pond Saturday putting the rafters up on that pergola I was working on and looked over and at least 75 fish were starring at me wondering where’s the food they stayed all day watching me

In my pond, when I was going back there regularly, I'd take a handful of food from the automatic feeder and throw it in the water. They got to know my footsteps and there would be V's of waves swimming towards the feeder and they'd be there before I got to it.
They also know what time of day the feeder is set to go off and they are there waiting about 1/2 hr before it goes off. I'm not feeding much, maybe 50-70 pounds of Optimal Bluegill and Bass food per month when they are eating good.
