Most of the info I have seen is that crappie in the black or white version can have erratic spawns. This year it will be great and next year almost nothing followed by OMG that was a really great spawn. I hear black crappie are better than white in ponds but don't really see anybody that has recommended crappie for a waterbody of less than 10 acres.
There are several ponds in my area with crappie in them. Most are filled with 3-6" versions.
Likely require lots of active management of them to produce fish of size to eat.
