thanks for your input


Few people know more about pond management than EWEST. I strongly recommend reading, and then re-reading, the link he posted above.

Yes, clear water can help the bass find a lot more crappie. But, the crappie spawn before the bass. The crappie can put a big bite on the tiny bass, bluegill, and red-eared sunfish in a pond.

A lot more questions and observations will be extremely valuable to many other forum readers. Please give us more information, and please ask a lot more questions.
