Got a quote for $776 for 25 bass and 1000 fathead minnows. Does that sound right?

Have roughly 1/3 of an acre private pond. Has a fair amount of bream, different species but I can't tell the difference. One gets pretty big and the other is a typical small bream.

The bass are the problem. If I walk around the entire pond fishing for 30-45 minutes I may get 1 bass maybe 2 and sometimes none at all. And all the ones I catch are small. 6-10 inches and occasionally I'll catch one a little bigger. Previous owner said before it flooded in 2016 it wasn't unusual to catch them up to about 2lbs. I've been there 4 years now and the biggest one I have caught was maybe a 1lb-1 1/2lbs and haven't caught one close to that since. Myself and my son are the primary fisherman with my son bringing friends but they mainly fish for bream.

Pond is approximately 16 feet deep in one area and 12 feet in another area. Previous owner said he put in a bunch of christmas trees and he added 3 6ft concrete culverts that stand upright.

I have a septic pump connected to weighted hose that is connected to a diffuser for aeration at around 8-10 feet deep. That was as deep as I could go and still get bubbles to come up.

I called Louisiana pond management and gave someone all the above information and someone else is supposed to call me back tomorrow to see what they can do.

Just wanted some thoughts from here because I know they will be pushing for more so they can make more. I know with that small of a pond there can only be so many and so big but I've fished similar sized ponds and have done much better.

Now show a chart how many people died by obesity.

Reward vs risk ring a bell?

1. Braindeadboxer

2. Several years.

3. Unfortunately not.

4. Doesn't remember, which makes sense because he has taken lots of blows to the head.

5. He pledges on the new baby goats he has he won't do it again. Will even post pics of super cute baby goats.

6. Says the admin team will now take the place of the legend status Chuck Norris has left to be filled.

I know them but I ain't saying their name. They always have a good time up there

Looks like they do. Tell them I'm the dummy out in his yard waving to them. Have a metal roof and a small pond with a ditch that runs along it. :drunkards:

I am suprised the chickens don’t eat the dunk

They eat anything and everything...hahahhaha

I have a gravity fed water container. It floats at the top where they can't get to it. Before adding the dunks they were always around and somehow in the container.

I put a piece of a mosquito dunk in the water. It kills the larvae before they can turn into mosquitos. Safe for animals etc. I've been using them for years and my chickens are fine.

I used Prime Detailing and Tint in Prairieville and was very satisfied by them. If you pay cash they'll knock off tax.

Of the six men who raised the second flag on Iwo Jima on February 23, 1945, three were killed in action shortly after the iconic photo was taken, while the remaining three survived the battle but faced life-long challenges, including PTSD and misidentification of their roles.



Fallen in Action (Killed on Iwo Jima):
Sgt. Michael Strank: Killed by shellfire (likely friendly) on March 1, 1945.
Cpl. Harlon Block: Killed by a mortar shell on March 1, 1945.
Pfc. Franklin Sousley: Killed by a sniper on March 21, 1945.


Surviving Flag-Raisers:
Pfc. Ira Hayes: A Pima Native American who struggled with survivors' guilt and alcoholism after the war. He died in 1955 of alcohol poisoning and exposure.

Pfc. Rene Gagnon: Worked various jobs after the war, struggling to escape the fame. He died of a heart attack in 1979.

Pfc. Harold Schultz: Misidentified for over 70 years, it was discovered in 2016 that he was in the photo, not John Bradley. Schultz rarely spoke of his role, lived a quiet life, and died in 1995.

ETA: John Basilone, Medal of Honor recipient from Guadacanal, was also killed on Iwo Jima where he was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross.

Not only the costs of war but also the impact it makes back home. Both grandpas were in WWII and grandmas were alive during that time too. I remember doing a project in the 8th grade about how America rationed during the war. Can you imagine asking people today to donate pots and pans that weren't being used in the house. Not getting as much sugar and other items because they were needed on the war front. So many things average Americans had to give up because it was needed more on the war front.

Slave quarters not big enough for my butler. Hard pass.
