Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Crawfish Supplementation

Morning! Here in South MS it's relatively easy to get a bag of live crawfish in the spring for cheap.

Has anyone used these in their pond as supplement forage? Is this a good idea? Any downsides?

My bass are too small right now(5 months old), but just brainstorming for the future.

I looked at stocking crawfish but was afraid of introducing an invasive. Instead,,, I added a bunch of rock to the shoreline and hoped the native population would increase. Last summer every bass I cleaned had a crawdad in it. So I suppose it worked.

Next PB issue will cover this in detail ! Do you have much rock and or plants in the pond? Craws can be a big plus but it depends on the situation. There is a lot more (science) to this than most think.
