Thank you gentelmen, I too am a novice. I have been told several things about the crappie. I just don't know. I have fished ponds with them and all seems well(?). I just don't want to ruin things from the start. I may wait a year or two on them if that is the consensus. I just want a sustained, enjoyable fishery, close enough to enoy a cold on while I relax.
I set out some minnow habitat today since my water level is not up to my rip rap this year. I took some left over deck 4x6 and roughed two pieces cut on a 45 deg. Then I nailed some cedar shake on the angle, alternating side to side. I had to place a piece of rock on each one(I made six of them 'bout 4' long). Hope it works!
