Thanks for the info. I�ve done a lot of reading on BCP & WCP on this site but it seems like it�s almost a 50/50 split or maybe a 60/40 split in favor of not stocking Crappie in small ponds. I just wanted to ask for myself and see if there was any new info out there I haven�t seen yet and I had not seen that article Tums posted.
I would most likely wait to introduce the BCP until I had a decent LMB population established. However, if I were start to notice a problem, wouldn�t trapping help get it back under control? Along with excessive angling? This pond usually gets fished 5 times a week during the spring, summer & fall, so I would assume that we would catch the issue pretty fast if one arose.
The reason I liked the higher number of CC is because last year we caught around 450 fish out of the pond. Granite the majority of them was BH and GSF but it still made for a good time. I just want to make sure there is an adequate amount of fish to catch without going overboard. That�s why I am asking, I may be going overboard and not even know it.
