What would you like to know? I've been 3 times

This guy gets it...He answered every one of your concerns correctly.
1) Drain pond if possible..This is done to ensure hardy and tolerant bloodlines of the stocked fish aren't compromised by wild diseases of native species
2) Never stock hybrid species. Any true hybrid will be genetically sterile..
3) Copper Nosed Bluegill - correct
4) Never stock Black or White Crappie..Your pond isn't big enough for them. They are avid spawners and even bigger eaters. Your pond would be stunted if you did
5) Stock according to pre-determined ratios...There are ratios for a reason. They know the number based on hectares of what best promotes trophy growth.
6) If you want variety stock a defined amount of channel cat. Exactly right. Why? Because the eggs of channel cat need running water to hatch. They will not hatch in a pond; therefore, the Channel Cat will not be competing for food.
7) If it were me I would first stock it with mosquito fish (Gambula Rostrata)..allow to sit for a period of time then stock with current state ratios
8) Crawfish also need rising and falling water to reproduce. Females lay eggs when the water has dried above and they are in their small pools below surface in hopes that when it floods she can carry them to the surface waters to grow. If you put crawfish in they would feed your fish once. Waste

ARE they even good enough to get a good practice in against or help us get better in any way? How and why did we wind up with SLU on our schedule? I just don't see what we get out of this game. There are cup cakes and then there is this. How do the players even get up for a game like this. To have a good practice you have to have the right mindset to where you have a certain concentration level and I just don't see that happening. I just see a sloppy useless practice happening that we get nothing out of and probably causes more harm than good.

Two words for you, genius....Troy...State...

I'm pretty sure Ghengis Khan has already answered this question for you. The light, highly manuverable, Mongolian calvary decimated the heavy cavalry of Russia and Eastern Europe on EVERY occasion they met.

Shulgin's original research into phenylamines and amphetamines were for their use in treating illnesses of the mind. He had great success in using them to treat and suppress depression, obsessive, compulsive, anxiety, and conditions such as PTSD. If anything, it's good to hear they are opening up and preserving past endeavors prior to the meddling of the federal government

Always heard to cook it exactly like red meat/beef

What happened was indeed a form of hpoxia called "spring overturn". Its quite common in the wild, but in this case you actually did two things to "force" it to happen unknowingly. One, when you fertilized your pond the change in water color was the direct result of an algal bloom. When these algae died and sunk to the bottom of the pond they created an anaerobic environment as they decomposed. When you started the pumps and circulated the water from the bottom back up to the surface layers of water with little to no oxygen mixed with layers of normal water creating a hypoxic environment for the fish, killing them. In nature, this happens naturally in deep ponds or oxbows and is called "spring overturn" because spring rains create the current needed to circulate the low oxygen water deep up to surface

Most people use Blue Leriope, Veragated Leriope, or Daylillies as the plants arranged in a circle around your major landscape points..They are extrememly low maintainance and flowers can be offset just inside of them to accent the circles slope leading up to the tree

Goggle Eye are not Warmouth. True Warmouth identification only has Warmouths reaching a maximum of a few inches in length. Goggle Eye are Green Sunfish which have a substantially bigger body. I think the confusion comes with 1) the name, as Goggle Eye do indeed have very large mouths and 2) Most pictures of Green Sunfish do a poor job representing the color patterns seen in South Louisiana.

Try Southern Wire Company

Maybe you're thinking of a coon and the glands on those. Never heard of having to take them out of squirrels.

So, note to self......an enterprising young man has figured out for us that a cheap bag of birdseed can yield the "Berkshire" of squirrel meat. Sounds like a fair trade to me

Now, this is something I know A LOT about being that's about the only way we ever fished for catfish. The short answer is it depends on where you're fishing and for what type of catfish you're trying to catch. If you're limiting yourself to ONLY what you will find in say, Wal-Mart don't waste time with any of the "ready made" bait like doughbait (especially) on jugs or "shiners in a bag" etc. We have used almost every one of them with varying degrees of luck, ALL mainly on the bad luck side. The frozen fish, like mackeral or cigar minnows, cut up would probably work better than anything in a bag, but even these don't compare to fresh cutbait when available. Your best bet, and what we've had the best luck with from what you can get in a store, would probably be good ole fashion nightcrawlers. Some of the best bait we've used in general is live crawfish, fresh shrimp, and live minnows/bream.

Yeah, I'm a twin...identical...the main question I get is, "Which one are you?" Lol

"This board is the worst when it comes to accurate information"

THIS!!!!! I couldn't have put it better myself....Get it right or STFU!!

I'm the same way...If I even look at it the wrong way it's on!

The two ABSOLUTE BEST cures for poison ivy is as follows:

1) As already stated, "straight" bleach...use a Q-Tip and put it on the rash/bumps several times a day...It WILL knock the itch and the rash out in less than a week.

2) Now....the absolute fastest and best cure for poison ivy that I've EVER tried is Sycamore Tea....Yeah yeah yeah....I know...I thought the exact thing when I heard this (look it up)...You basically take the bark from a sycamore tree and boil it in water until it's the color of tea...wet a rag and simply put it over the area that has poison ivy....I had a SEVERE case and it was cured in TWO days...and the itching stopped immediately and never returned...I have NO idea what's in there, but it sure as shite works.. You're welcome

Sorry for the confusion...We actually launched at Big Lake and then decided to make the hour and a half long trip to Sabine and fish BECAUSE the lake is so slow right now...lol... In short, like someone said "Sabine/Beach good...lake not so good"
