hello guys,
Well its been a while since i've had a chance to post. about 10 months ago i stocked my acre pond with 50-HSB 500-RES 500-CNBG 10LBS-TILAPIA 15LBS-FH AND 100-BLACK CRAPPIE. I hand fed them for about the first three months and since i have only feed about once every two weeks. I am so tempted to drop a line and get some fish. What do you think? Can I havest some of them? Any info helps. thanks

I would fish, but I don't know that I would harvest anything yet.
What size do you think the crappie are?

C&R first, see what size everything is. You might want to let everything spawn this year before removing many fish, or perhaps longer. (Not long enough for the HSB to spawn, though  .) Is your stocking plan complete with those fish? Do you plan to add anything else (LMB)?

I want to say that the crappie were 4-6 inches when we stocked them. I havent tried to fish the pond yet. the only thing that i plan on restocking is HSB and the panfish. the HSB were in the 7-9 " range when first stocked.

The crappie could be 8-10" now and the HSB could be what, maybe 12" plus?
I'd fish but not harvest for the immediate future.
