I think I will buy larger shiners next spring. So they don't get eaten before they grow up, by the smaller crappie. I do have a few small ponds with nothing in them, so I can put some in there to grow and then transfer them to the lake.

61 acre water shed lake. bass, channel cat, black crappie, wiper, walleye, redear sunfish, blue catfish and bluegill. To many bullhead and common carp
