Hey guys, first let me say great forum, I can already tell I will be visiting a bunch.
Now on to my problem. I recently purchased land with a small 3 acre pond. We have lived there for three years but I just bought it. Three years ago, all I could catch in it was 12" bass and occasional bluegill.
Two years ago, it turned over and many bluegill and bass died over the winter.
Then last fall we started catching large crappie on a regular basis. It is nothing to catch 8-10 14"-18" crappie in a couple hours on any given day.
Again this spring we are catching that same large size of crappie along with about 5 smaller sizes of crappie and lots of 8 ounce bluegill.
I have always been a bass fisherman, and know little about crappie. Should I keep em all, cull the smaller ones, or cull the bigger ones?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
CS
