Eastland,
In reference to crappie overpopoulation in small ponds, Bob's comment, "not if but when" has been echoed by a number of experts on this site. What is encouraging, for us crappie lovers, are folks like Cecil who know the risks, but are willing to take that fork in the road.
Cecil, just curious, is this your first attempt at crappie in that .62 acre pond? Is this the same pond you raise trout in? You've got so much going on, I need to get my score card out to keep track. :p I'm sure you'll keep us posted with the results since you know all too well there are a number of Pond Boss members who would like to have crappie in their small ponds.
Eastland, a while back Bill Cody posted a link to a paper that dealt with the issue of crappie in small impoundments. I'll try to find it and repost it.
