The crappie have me confounded. I know they are reproductive. I watch them spawn, I catch them off the nest, I've seen their fry, but literally I have never caught a small one. I've caught them on buzzbaits, spooks, jitterbugs, worms, minnows, jigs, baby bluegill, but never a little one. All big fat and happy. Fished other ponds where you could catch a bazillion crappie about five inches long and nothing else.
A couple years back i would have to agree with you on the anti catfish, but after you catch some you get hooked. If i were you i would try taking out the crappie. I think they are going to be eating machienes and do t mix with your bass you have. These fish are competeing for the same food and taking the crappie out would allow you to not only have fatter bass, but more in quantity too! Thats my opinion, drew
