re: Building a 5 acre lake in SWMS

Also, crappie are a bad idea in this size pond. Right now, you may be thinking you'll be eating them every night but eventually you are going to get tired of it and if you don't harvest the 300+ pounds of crappie a year, they will take over the lake and you won't have much left.

Bluegill, Shellcracker, Catfish. Skip the bass unless you intend to harvest the shite out of them.
