I'd have Saugeye if they were readily available. I agree with the sentiment that it'll be difficult to establish more forage if you're already over crowded with predators.


I have a 19 acre pond. A couple of years ago I decided to start removing a significant amount of crappie. We fish more and invite friends out more. To be honest with you it's been a blast! Currently I believe I'm seeing a positive change in both length and weights of the crappie we are catching.
