To help with the crappie, you will need plenty of spawning and hiding structure for minnows in the shallows. Catch and release your biggest bass, and eat the 2-3 pounders if you must. Never throw bluegill back, especially the small ones. That will put more predator pressure on the small crappie. And of course, never throw back the small crappie. I know it sounds wasteful, but throwing some of them away beats all of them being stunted.
