Hi All,

One of my coworkers, who is an avid fisherman, and who has read quite a bit on pond management, has told me that he wouldn't put crappie in a pond, because they tend to take over. The ponds have a tendency to overpopulate with stunted crappie. He said it is harder to keep them in balance than with bluegills.

I read with interest Rick's articles on what he does to keep ponds in balance.

The question is, what is different, if anything, about keeping crappie in balance in a pond than keeping bluegills in balance? Anything?

Thanks and regards,

Gandolf
