Resurrecting this old thread. Curious about the 3 yr long term results/efforts to date.

I think too much cow shite messed up the water quality. It never produced an eatable sized crawfish.

I moved my operation to another low spot on some property we own that doesn't have cattle. We caught a few native reds in there but not many total pounds of crawfish for the length of soak in commercial traps. I dropped the ball on stocking it last year. Hope to drop a sack in there at the end of the season when prices come down.

Eta: I'm also easing my way in to get rights to fish the pond in my sig pic. It's fished commercially, but I had a few drinks with the person that owns it and asked if he'd mind if I bought my son down to run some nets from the bank.
