JMeyer - Forget the crappie for now. Don't loose sight of your initial goal of walleye. First, focus on establishing a walleye and perch fishery to see how it develops. As mentioned you should purchase pellet trained perch (4"-6" & a low percentage of 6"-8"), pellet trained so they will usually eat more pellets than shiners. Reserve most of the shiner population to feed the walleye. When you feed,, blend both Aquamax number 5 and 6; size 5 for the smaller perch and shiners and size 6 for adult perch. You will be amazed at the size of yellow perch that you can grow in that sand pit. Pellet eating perch will easily and quickly grow to 12"-13", with occasional 14" & 15"ers. Crappie can always be added later if forage seems to overabundant.
