Truth be told all the larger ponds with crapipe gsh have other predat or fish Too. One small crappie pond (1 acre) was just bcp and at the start of year 2 I started working with the pond a little. Put half a gallon of 6" plus golden shiners in. It has a rock face and other good structure and I probably went light on the goldens. Also put five gallons of you fatheads in from a pond that was going dry. Never been able to trap or net a minnow from there. I will try again this summer and plan on adding scudds. The pond received perch the next year but we haven't done a predator yet because this pond over flows into a walleye pond. May have to move a few up stream as all the crappie are stunted.
