Forage is a waste of $ IMO and it seems Bob is gravitating that way, too. The only forage item I would consider would be adult GSH - 8-10" - even those will be hammered by LMB unless you have lots of shallow structure/habitat. Invest that money in TH feeders instead of FHM and GSH.

You may need to reset this pond - must remove your GC who are making water turbid and deunuding pond of vegetation. You cannot establish a forage base without some shallow structure and that's best provided by vegetation. If you really want to commit to making this pond better I agree you need to either electroshock and manually remove GC and Crappie and LMB in slot size or rotenone. Or, as Bob says they may be at the end of their lifespan, but I don't know lifespan of GC. Sounds like you have far too many GC to manually remove with bow or shotgun and water might be too turbid to effectively sight hunt them anyhow.

If it were my pond before I invested money in stocking fish I would decide how to remove the GC if there are really dozens in there still.
