VERY few folks ever go there. And when they do it's just a couple neighbors to go fishing and this has happened only maybe three times in the last year and a half.

If you can't completely trust your neighbors when times are good, how do you think they will act when times are bad, such as when needing to go to a bug-out location? I still suggest you develop a "plan B".

Big believer in plans b through z

Amen.

Just to be sure, in case I didn't explain it, they were given permission to come fish in the lake.

Who owns the lake and surrounding property?

I have owned our place here for 28 years, yet I am surprised at how many folks know about my pond and the good fishing. ;(

Do you stock your pond? What’s in it?

Largemouth bass, bluegill, and channel catfish. That is the recommended stocking for ponds in Missouri according to the Conservation Department. Many years ago, a previous owner used to raise catfish, clean them, and then take them to Kansas City to sell.

Sounds like you got some good eats there Tom. We'll be there Monday about noon. Tell the General to have the cevapi, Karadjordjeva snicla and pljeskavica ready.

Where did a Redneck learn to speak like that???

Google! Just looked up that countries national dish (s)

Just remember that I don't have ANY idea what that stuff is, so be gentle.
