In my 6 acre pond with 1 acre flooded timber in inlet end of pond I need to know how deep to sink cedars/brush piles for crappie habitat in summer and winter. Seems as tho there are less and less crappie that I’m catching. Will brush piles help the YOY survival (if there is any). I don’t see any signs of young BCP after the first spawn the year that they were stocked (year 5). The crappie that I was catching running 8-11” but never have caught any small 4-6” since the first year. Any insights on what to do to change the population?
Any help would be appreciated
