My family used to run a goldfish farm. There are 12 ponds, 8 on one side, 4 on the other, divided by a large gulley, and another pond at each end. When we would empty the ponds and sain them, the water would flow to either one of the end ponds, which also served as personal bass ponds. Out of the 14 ponds total, there is 1 that still has water and fish in it. The rest have dried up&have some trees and CRP grass growing in them. My grandfather told my uncle and I that they were ours to do with as we wanted. I started to do some restoration work when my grandfather told me he had given up the water rights to do anything commercial with the ponds since it cost so much each year and they haven't used for a good about 10 years. He said he kept enough to keep using our one bass pond. Each pond covers 3-4 acres I'm guessing. I would like to come up with an idea on how to use them to make some money. They put app.$250,000 into building them and it just sits there going to waste.
