Welcome dbh! Do you know if those depths are accurate? I recently did a depth survey on a pond that was supposed to be "6' deep on the shallow end and 12' deep at the deep end" and found the depths to be around 40" and 84" respectively......

Threadfin aren't a bad thing. The crappies will have to be intensively managed or they will most likely overpopulate. Those large LMB are hard to catch because there probably aren't many of them and they have probably seen a lot of different lures.
