Well, in the case of crappie, give the bass a 3 or even 4 year jump on the crappie. Wait 3 or 4 years after the bass are stocked in a new pond before adding crappie.
Or,,, maybe stock just a few crappie at the same time as stocking the LMB.
I'm watching my crappie nervously. Some of them did spawn last spring, because I accidentally caught some babies in a trap. Those same babies should be ~6" by now, but I haven't caught a single one on hook and line. I guess most of them got eaten by the LMB. As soon as I start catching new generation on hook and line, I'm going to start bringing the pressure. That's very easy to do, my wife is a fishing machine.
