Since my last update the water has warmed and things are looking up for my pond. First off I have been targeting the Crappie for removal. So far I have removed 30 5-7" fish and two slabs like the one pictured above. They are becoming harder to catch and to be honest I don't think they are dominating the pond.
Also during the crappie harvesting I have noticed that I have a lot more pure BG then I thought. Once the water hit the upper 50s my BG catches have been 75% pure BG to 25% HBG. Also I caught several large females ripe with eggs, probably ready to spawn in a few weeks.
The fish have taken to the pellets and over all I'm definitely making progress. My bass appear to putting on some weight as well. There is a small drainage pond by my work filled with fingerling BG. I have been putting in 30-40 a week to supplement the bass until the spawn starts. No CC's caught yet, but I've seen a couple while feeding.
Thanks for all the help and I will keep you guys updated.
