Generally, the bluegills control the bass thus nothing controls the crappie. They spawn earlier, at a lower water temp, and have the same hinged jaw as a bass.

The lowest acreage that I've seen recommending crappie is 25 acres. I don't think you would be happy with the results.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
