Rookie question.
Where do crappie fit in from an anglers perspective? I.E. do they bite in different seasons than for instance BG? Fight harder?
What is the reason for having them in the pond in addition to or over another species.
I know there are quite a lot of crappie in my area, but just wondered why a pond owner might want them?
I should have said rookie questions.
The biggest sole reason I have them is to allow a lot of fishing and harvesting. For someone like me (that likes to take a lot of people fishing) I can allow people to keep their catch without worrying about over harvesting. Crappie also are more active (here in the south) in the cooler months than LMB & BG. They are also a very good table fair. I also am blessed with a few ponds and only have BCP in one pond.
