Thanks for all the info/stats jpsdad! Your numbers are actually very close to what my buddy and I discovered this ice season, a lot of crappie around that 7-8" range. It just seems no matter the size of fish, they all seem malnourished, and there's so many of them. I don't know how familiar people on here are with Garmin Livescope, but I will include some pictures from us drilling/hole hopping on the pond during the ice season. I'm just unsure what next steps my buddy and I should take, other than taking a ton of crappie. We'd like to have a nice walleye/crappie pond we can fish, but we both think we should try and take care of the forage situation first. From what I've read, FHM can provide a little 'boost' in growth but aren't really a long-term fix. I was stocking shiners but now the baits shops I go to can't get shiners in until the MN Walleye opener. As for stocking predators, what size of Tigers should we look into throwing in there? The place I'm looking at will sell 6-7" fish mainly. And are there any places in MN that will sell Saugeye for stocking? I've only seen pure walleye available. Again, thank you everyone for all the info/suggestions, I really appreciate it!
