Don't do it unless you want a crappie pond with skinny undersized starving bass. They don't co-exist well in small water. Crappie win.


My pond is 4.5ac impounded in the 60's and has both LMB and Black Crappie.

Crappie own the pond.

Little known fact- once all forage is depleted from the pond, crappie can filter feed on plankton and eat their own young to survive. Bass and bluegill can't.

Don't put crappie in there.

Crappie are delicious though.
Bass are too, but some people don't like to eat them, they like to throw them back.
I aint one of those people.

Thanks for the feedback Deep, been chewing on this one for a while.
Do you supplemental stock feeder fish (minnows or bluegill) or add crawfish?
