I realy apreciate your responses, I guess I just felt like what the heck? I just wanted to know what people would recomend. I will share all info and I think more people shouldn't be so dan* scared about stocking crappie. White or Black it is just a fish and can ba managed with fishing and a little bit of intelagence. I have read every thread that I have found posted through pond boss and still seem to have my own opinions and wonders why people have so much trouble and problems with crappie, white or black? I will be here to the end to let you know of my outcome of my pond. I just feel that people are scared about them and for what reason if managed? I am sorry if I have afended anyone or if I am out of line.
