I imagine that all of the fry from the bluegill, bass and crappie are probably feeding all those large fish.


Can we come fishing? Sounds like a dream fishery! You should walk over and research and share your thoughts with the forum or even write an article for PB. 15-16" crappie in a 3 acre pond defies the common conceptions here on the forum. I want to learn more!
