Also the creek could be supplying a steady feed of small BH.. BH, crappies, carp all together is not a good thing but not necessarily the worst. I'd work on removing the carp first off, then I'd pray to god the crappie ain't spawning, then get use too BH LOL.. if your wanting mainly a LMB pond you need lots of stunted BG for them to eat..
Search through the archives LMB ponds have been covered extensively on here..

Get some pics up and keep us updated..


I believe in catch and release. I catch then release to the grease..

BG. CSBG. LMB. HSB. RES.
