Sorry, that was supposed to be 3/4 acre. I actually have quite a few tanks. Two of the biggest are dedicated as bass territory. Some of the smaller ones we have filled up with fatheads and shiners and use them mostly as "frog ponds". (can't help myself, love those frog legs). I really wouldn't mind the stripers in the pond in question. We don't do enough fishing anyway to properly keep the bass thinned out. These stripers might be just the ticket. It was my understanding that crappie and blue gill lived in different areas of the tank (is this true). What forage fish do you pond meisters use for stripers?
