Pond Boss Forums STOCKING A NEW POND Types of fish to choose Hybrid stripers

I think the best approach to getting crappie to do well is to make sure you have a good % of your SMB over 16" and your HSB over 20". That way you have numerous fish with bigger mouths to effectively prey on the explosion of YOY crappie. So I'd wait a few years to stock crappie to give your other fish a jump start. I would not use HBG to help control crappie numbers.
