Crappie and Bass? - 04/18/05 10:04 PM
OK, I posted last year, but somehow (being a new pondowner) I was completely wrong. Imagine that! What we catch in our 1 acre pond (in North Texas) is mostly 10"-14" bass (kinda skinny though). However, we do catch quite a few 8"-10" crappie, probably 2 bass to every one crappie.
No other fish have been caught out of this pond at all...no catfish or anything along those lines. This pond is a stockpond dug by my grandfather probably 60 years ago. The pond hasn't been stocked in probably 10 years, but has maintained this fishing level over the last 3 years at least. We have been releasing everything we have caught.
The questions I have are, one: is the crappie level stunting the bass growth, and two: can I introduce Channels or blue into this pond?
Thanks for your help...
