I think C.Nuckols' problem will be in geting enough forage in the 2.5 ac to feed adult bass. He probably won't spend the money to chemically renovate the pond. If he manages it carefully, keeps enough forage in there, and has a little luck with minimal crappie spawning he might get a half-way decent fishery inspite of the crappie. With crappie in there his bass will never reach full potential. As Greg said, I would also ditch the idea of catfish or at least real low numbers. Cats will probably feed somewhat on bass plus others. Just what he needs is another predator in there on top of bass and crappie.
