I know a lot of small ponds that have crappie. One of them we stocked via buckets 15 years ago. For the first few years th crappie fishing was great. My wife and I were dating at th time and she caught a 10”+ crappie 27 straight casts. Now they are all 4-6” and they took out 200 last year and I bet that barely put a dent in them.
When I was picking up my fish I asked th gentleman what do do about a crappie overabundance problem in my buddy’s 2 acre pond. He recommended a few 8-10” walleye and said that is the way he has resolved the problems in this area. I asked about HSB and he said at least around here he hasn’t seen HSB solves the problem.
