That certainly is a good idea. But that skips "how it can be done" and goes right to alternatives.
I'll at least think about it some more before I develop the final plan. Thanks for contributing.
If you are looking for a different route the YP and SM could be a good combo.
You mentioned Crappie. The good crappie ponds/lakes around here that produce big crappie are also stocked with white bass/shad/catfish. Seems that is the combo to have but it has not been tried a lot in very many smaller BOW's. Could be a potential experiment with your pond as growing crappie has been successful on a few small ponds so it can be done.
HSB have to be re-stocked but not every year if you have a big enough supply to keep up with crappie recruitment. Of course you could play with the number's since you will be actively managing the pond. They have a 7-8 yr. shelf life.
