I spent the day with Jim Mays the Superintendent of the city of Denton's Parks and Recreation and Brad Metzler, a Fisheries Biologist from Pond King. Brad brought his shock boat and we hit all the Denton public ponds. I learned alot today. Here are a few pics of Pond Kings shock boat.

If you have never seen this done before it's pretty cool. They use long handled dip nets and scoop up the stunned fish and put them in this aerated tank.

They shocked the fish and then came back to shore and showed Jim and I what they found. Brad would break down what he found, what kind of fish they found and why the fish were the size they were. He is going to give Jim a full report later this week so he can decide what kind of fishery he wants for the public.

That was very educational Brad and Wes did a fantastic job out there today. I learned more talking to them in one afternoon than I have in the last 6 years studying everything I can get my hands on by myself. The folks out at Pond King had their work cut out for them today and they significantly exceeded my expectations. I learned I have a lot of work to get me where I want the ponds to be but with Brad's help I will hopefully have a roadmap to success.
OUTSTANDING JOB GENTLEMEN. I AM VERY APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR EFFORTS!
Fish Fear Me thanks for your insight your assistance was greatly appreciated.

Here they are at the other north lakes pond. Brad had some great ideas for this place. Look for it turn into into a BIG cat fish lake over the next few years. He said it was perfect for growing big Blues ...

Don't forget the bass that are in here. Here is a pic of Brad holding up a nice one. Did you know this place gave up a DD a few months ago? Yep, I saw the pic. I think it's hanging off some lucky guys wall right now.
