Why not do it right the first time, instead of wishing you did later. If you side with those who feel crappie are a very bad thing in ponds and don't care to make the effort to try to manage them then let's start fresh. If the pond can be drained then do so, or if it can't then chemicly treat the water to kill all the existing fish.
Now you're off to a fresh start and KNOW for sure what is in this pond. Start out by stocking some fatheads, golden shiners, and gills, and perhaps some shell crackers. That'll build the forage base you want for the bigger bass. Let'em grow and breed threw the summer and then stock you're adult bass at suggesting ADULT fish stocking numbers. If you do a search on the web you'll find some information on stocking numbers per acre for adult fish of all types. I'd also suggest stocking some "adult" (read big enough to breed but not big enough to eat a bunch of flatheads) bluegill along with the bluegill fry. That'll ensure you good numbers of gills this summer in addition to what you stocked, along with some fish big enough to avoid heavy bass pressure.
