I realize that Crappie belong in a lake, but since I don't have one, I would like to make my 1/2 acre pond work. Growing up in SW Louisiana, we fished some crappie ponds that held some saddle blankets and these ponds were the antithesis of "managed" ponds. They looked like they had been there and been forgotten forever.
I had been considering the Gambusia for the bait fish in both ponds. Is this a bad idea? I read that they were prolific and rapid spawners, thus self perpetuating.
Ken, I have plenty of runoff if we have even close to normal rain. And as a newbie, is HSB Hybrid Striped Bass?
Those Coppernose BG look like they would put up a fight! Are they as good out of the fryer as they look?
