We recently purchased a home with a pond. Water is murky due to the last hurricane. Pond has plenty of bream and bass. What normal maintenance or attention should i do?

hurricanes probably not the cause.
you probably have an algae bloom, unless there is a lot of runnoff goong into the pond you can treat this by dyeing the water or algacide

Our town got tons of water from the Gulf.

When was the last hurricane? I don't even remember. Shouldn't take more than a few weeks probably for water to clear up after an intense storm with lots of runoff.

I guess you have a point. I only going on what the neighbors are saying that the water was clear before the storm. Thanks

Go pick up scrap sheetrock. Throw it in. It will be crystal clear in a couple weeks.
Then get pond dye to keep sunlight from reaching the bottom.

Muddy water from 2 years ago sounds suspect...

I had no clue there were bass! My daughter was catching bream under cork. She released one and and a huge bass came and ate the bream we release!!! I was thrilled and my daughter was sad

How big is the pond? What is your long term goal? If you want to maximize fish growth and production see list below. Your local coop can come out and test the chemicals.
Liming
Fertilize
Weed Control
Aerate
Feed (baitfish)

Yes. Works. Did it to mine.

How deep? I have a 12 ac and a 3 acre pond. Both are "clearish" to about 15 in.
Both are perfectly healthy.you don't want clear water even is spring Fed. Check Ph , grass growth and structure for breeding/hiding out.

You don't want that in your pond.
Mine is over taking with the crap. 
Looks like a fish kill is in the near future for me. 
Been working on my pond making it bigger. The last two days I been building a bridge to a area that I might make a island. The cut the leads off the old pond is about 20' wide and I dug it down below 12'. The bridge is about 5' above the water and it's 5' wide.
