I've pellet trained Hybrid Crappie to take pellets too.
Nice!
In my limited experience, the main cohort of Crappie in a BOW always seem to be very efficient at eating up the food supply for their size range. Even when they are thriving in the short term, I fear that stunting is always peeking over the horizon.
Pellet feeding them would certainly remove or mitigate that fear. (At least when the pond population was still below the carrying capacity.)
How did the crappie respond in that situation with pellet feeding, esshup? I would think there would be a chance to have fantastic results?
