tuffies (Fathead minnows) would be a complete waste of money, they'd be eaten in a matter of days in an established fishery.
8-9" size in 6 years suggests extremely slow growth on Crappie.
It's my Opinion but the crappie could/should have been left out of the stocking plan.
If things were "right" for crappie there should have been some 8-10" fish the following yr after stocking.
My opinion again, but I believe you should keep every crappie caught and see if this eventually shows some better growth.
