Relative's pond is 1.5 acre and had crappie when they bought the property. It is predator heavy and I have not seen a successful spawn in the last 5-6 years...Pond has LMB, large channel cats in good numbers.
Could be just luck and crappie haven't had success or the large predator ratio controls them....maybe a bit of both?
All experts say given the choice, do not stock them in small ponds/lakes.
I had thought about adding some hybrid crappie to my mix as I am very predator heavy but sourcing those look like a challenge from Ohio...
