Ok, so after getting advice from the forum I’ve scatched the idea of stocking my 50+ year old 4.5 acre pond with fhm and other small fish and bought a TX hunter feeder instead. When talking to the guy I bought the feeder from he told me the best results he ever saw in his pond came from stocking hundreds of pounds of live crawfish. It’s Peak season for crawfish in LA now and I’ll be driving down for work and have the ability to buy large amounts of live crawfish and bring them back.

Anyone else ever tried it? Or are there any reason I shouldn’t.

The pond has lots of 8-12” spotted bass/Kentucky and seems like the Crappie are close to the same size range 8-12”.
