Seems like black crappie would feed the blue cats and be a source of good eating as well?
Yeah you’re right. I’m just trying to find the best combination for both the BC and the HSB. Obviously the stripers will eat pellets but I’d want them to eat natural forage too. BCP are great BC forage but the gape on a HSB can’t handle a BCP more than 3-4” I wouldn’t think. Decisions, decisions...
GSH are easy to obtain so I’m still thinking about them. They’d feed the BCP and the HSB pretty well, but have no idea if the BC can even catch them. Catfish aren’t super fast predators, which is why Shad are great because they’re slow. Are you doing HSB in your BC pond, Rah? Or just BC and BCP?
