I am putting crappies into one of my ponds that is only .62 acres. But I have a massive predator population of largemouth bass that are pellet fed (they eat fish too) and the crappies I am putting in are pellet trained and fed too.
When I say massive that may be an understatement. I add 300 pellet trained bass of 8 to 12 inches each fall now(grow out in cage the entire summer) and I also have mostly female yellow perch that eat anything that makes the mistake of hanging around the pond bottom.
I sell many of my bass when they reach 2 # plus and my perch when they reach 2 #.
