That is exactly how I feel about the situation. I have a larger pond that is the prototypical LMB BG etc fishery.
I got cabin fever so bad this year with the winter weather that I said what the heck . I went to Lake Lanier with a local guide (Doug Younblood ) yesterday and we nailed 70 black crappie in 3 and 1/2 hours. They were still biting when we left. Water temp. was 43 45.5 by noon. I said man if only I could do this in my front yard! Thus the crappie pond ideaa. I am willing to work with greg and spend my "monthly" allowance on the experiment! Besides I am a doc my whole life is an experiment. I like trend setting so I am going for it. Worse case scenario,.. we drain the pond and start over. Best case scenario I have a productive crappie fishery and my own data on starting one ;)!
ill get you all some pics soon. It snowed in Alanta tday and I got some beautiful pics to share, ill also show you the pond.

Thanx for all the wisdom guys!
