I understand I’m lucky with how good the fishing is. My initial question was and still is how many crappie should I remove. As of writing this we have removed 154. My biggest fear is that by me removing the heavy weed bed that the crappie will take over and I’ll have a pond of nothing but 6 inch crappie in a few years time. So this puts me in the dilemma of how do I grow my bass larger and not decimated the crappie but drastically reduce their numbers to prevent them from getting out of control?
I've been told to never throw back a crappie. Makes sense - the remaining crappie/bass will have more forage and get bigger.
