My 5 ac pond will be 4 yrs old in November.
Found this thread very informative about crappie in small ponds. What wasn't addressed was was the growth rate. My BCP spawned the following March (2014) and that year class is now 8-9" long. That's the only size that is caught,making me think that that is the only spawn that has occurred so far . They don't appear to be stunted at all and seem thick for their size. LMB,CC, BC, CNBG are also present. Catfish are about 3-4# and the largest LMB caught is about5#. Pond was also stocked with 50# shiners. Just trying to get a idea if the crappie are on track or not, or is the shiners maybe eating all the fry. Not sure the shiners are even still around or not

Anyone got any ideas?
