So d o you have much of a budget or do you want to do most of the work your self??? Like N8ly said you could grow some walleye fast. for a long term great fishery you do need to establish some other feeds.
Should do a check to make sure the perch are all you have. Overpopulated stunted perch are a good sign in that area, as they will out do Greensunfish and bullheads if given the opportunity ( we have a hand full of fisheries with both that almost dry up and then refill with pops of GSF and Bh then GFP stocks a ton of perch and wham! stunted perch), that would give us the guess that there is some depth to your pond. If it never dries up and is shallow and always has water Bullhead first then green sunfish. How far are you from the nearest main drainage? a "2" foot drop in the water is ussually what it takes to keep such from swimming up stream. How is the pond filled?? Is there established pond weeds?? cat tails? bull-rush?? what is the depth?
I would argue N8ly's crappie numbers unless you think you may be able to fish it hard. Dump adult Golden shiners in as soon as possible. And other bait fishes. are there other ponds on the property that you could dedicate to biat fish??
And what weekend are the pictures coming??
what are your thouths on Large mouth or Northern Pike?? mightnot be the ideal sollutions but might be cheaper. If the crappie dont work out would you be willing to add large mouth too. because if the chemestry isnt right the crappie will stunt also.
