Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose stocking crappie

i have a few questions

how could you manage black crappie in a 3/4 acre pond?

Very intensive fishing - I'm pretty sure the consensus is that they aren't recommended for ponds under 5 acres in size because of the management problems that they cause.

the pond already has a good bluegill population as well as small 6-8 inch bass

i am thinking of stocking 2-3 inch crappie in the fall would a
6-8 inch bass be able to eat them

A 8" LMB might eat a 2" crappie, but they'd prefer a BG of the same size. 3" might be getting too big for an 8" LMB.

if so how many should i stock

This may not be the answer that you want, but my final answer is that you should stock zero.
