Welcome!

Avoid crappie in a pond that size. They need a much bigger pond.

Bass should probably be possible.

Before going too far you need to figure out:

How deep.
Water quality - PH, etc
Fertility - The water should have a noticeable green color this time of year.
Inflow - How often does new water flow through the pond?
What critters are in there now? Bluegill are great. See any minnows?
Habitat - Is there vegetation? Any logs, rock piles etc in the water?

Given answers to these questions, the gurus can get you started.

If you can afford it, there are professionals in N Texas who can do an evaluation and help you put together a plan. It sounds like your goals are practical.
