  1. Is there anyone who can help stock a small 3/4 acre pond? Are there good sites that that forums that specialize in this? It is a 3/4 acre or so, muddy pond in MO. It has a TON of green sunfish in it already it seems. There are turtles and at least a couple - maybe 3 BIG snappers. It is very turbid. I did a water sample and let it sit for 2 weeks and it never really cleared much, indicating that it is particulate and not as much mechanical. But it's just a dirt bottom, so I'm worried that even if I add gypsum, etc, once it rains heavy, it will wash more particulates into the water that will stay suspended. I stocked 50+ 7-9" bass last fall and I have YET to catch one (7 months later). I also added 2000 minnows in the spring. The herons around here have been snatching the sunfish and probably some of hte minnows too. I saw one catch a BIG bass (10"), so at least one did make it, but I have seen no signs of them at the end of my pole. Is there any hope for this thing? I can take photos and add them as well. I'm worried that It's just not going to be much of a pond ever. Thanks Tim
