I will mention again that I was sold way too many fish for my pond. Of course I did not find this site first. Now maybe they have had success with their stocking methods or maybe they just want to sell fish and that's it.
Either way Crappie probably never should have went in my pond regardless of type. Of course I like the fish and would have wanted them, but had I been told of the dangers of adding them I may have changed my mind.
We had one pond on the property that produced some wonderful crappie years ago, but not is so low and full of muck I am not sure even the tilapia have survived.
If I am able to get at least one crappie to the size we had in that pond I will be happy. I think the LMB and CC are keeping most fish at bay but next spring will be the true test of what I have in the pond and this winter could play a large role in that as well.
Thanks
