Neither HBG or RES have the recruitment necessary to feed LMB. For that, try native bluegill or coppernose.


1/2 acre pond with crappie is maybe possible if you work your butt off culling and managing. More than likely they will overspawn. It's seldom a matter of if but when. Crappie belong in lakes.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
