Just an update, we have continued to catch the larger crappie, but only at "peak" fishing times. I have been making a habit of fishing in the middle of the day and catching tons of 4" -6" crappie. This past Sunday my wife and I caught 41 crappie in that range in 40 minutes of fishing. They were all removed from the pond.
Also, I have only spotted ONE largemouth spawning. There were several hundred fry around the area and the bass was busy chasing off bluegill and crappie that were feasting on the youngins.
It looks like I will have to add adult bass and continue heavy harvest of the Crappie to make any progress at all.
Thanks for all your info.
later,
CS
