- In this video, I tell you how I ruined my childhood crappie fishing pond! I don't want you to make the same mistake I did, so I am putting this video out there in hope that you learn something! Before you go stocking crappie in a small pond, knowing the basics of pond care and maintenance is essential to having a healthy pond! CRAPPIE will ruin a small farm pond or body of water. You have to make sure the body of water is big enough and has enough bait to support a healthy ecosystem. I hope you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching! God Bless!

I'm 66 and knew that but had known way back when too tell anyone
Those minnows are Western Mosquito Fish. They should be a pretty good food source for the fish in that pond, but it is overpopulated.
That’s the kind of pond I want raised upon and your right about it being over stocked and you would be surprised at the people that don’t know that from the comments they make when they see you keeping your catch. Keep doing what you’re doing!! God Bless!
Thanks for watching and the comment! God bless you brother
Have mixture of a few brood (13-15 inchers) with a lot of 7in to 9in. All are black crappie in which some we did stock as fingerlings a few years ago. They get a refresh reload of fathead minnow stocking as you mentioned. The pond is approximately 2.5 acres. Otters invade it every winter and as much as I hate it, they probably help with management. Love your videos, keep 'em coming.
Yes keep that sucker stocked with bait for sure! Thanks for watching! God bless
Bummer on the pond, but everyone makes mistakes in life. Thanks for sharing to help educate others.
Have you thought about using a cast net on the pond to see what you pull out and/or help reduce numbers? Thanks for the videos.
That’s a good idea! I might have to try that! Thanks for watching! God bless
You’re welcome. Thanks for the videos.
Awsome content it would be awesome to see more pond fishing any content you make is fun to watch just to learn more about crappie and other kind of fishing you do
I have some more coming! Thanks for watching! God bless.
We have that same issue with crappie and to fix the issue the NC Fish and Game came up with the rule no creel and no limit for white and black crappie.
Yes but the difference is this is a small body of water. Not a river or huge lake! They will take it over lol thanks for watching! God bless
Thanks for the content as always 💯💯
You are welcome! Thanks for watching! God bless
Just watched a video with you and Cole catching summer Croppie, so I came over to your channel. Glad I did, and I just sub'd and rung the bell. Ron and Putnam, Texas!
That’s awesome! Thanks for joining the family! Thanks for watching! God bless
learned a lot :) thanks 903
😁😅
That’s great! Thanks for watching! God bless
Great Video!
If you put like a 8 inch bass in there he should eat enough of them were they would get bigger over time
Great advice brother.
Thanks for watching! God bless
Love the stuff you do keep it up. I’m trying to get a GoPro myself so I can do TH-cam.
I appreciate that brother! God bless
Nice video my brother thanks for the tips. I won’t to see you catch at least 1 slab out of that pond.
Mannnn we might have to start over! Idk. We will figure it out. Thanks for watching! God bless
come and listen to the excitement again,my friend
Thanks for watching! God bless
@@903fishing yes same buddy👍
State fish biologist in Illinois told a friend of mine that crappie should not be stocked in any pond less than five acres. Friends pond is about an acre and the crappie in it are stunted
That is exactly correct! Thanks for watching! God bless
It would be great for you to do another at the pond or other close by pond. What is the size of your pond, interested in making one on a small yard. Thanks . Great vids!
Definitely not big at all. Not even an acre.
thank u for the informative video today. I got a question for you. what size split shots do you use ? I would like to see another video of you at the pound
I use size 3 split shots for all my rigs. Thanks for watching! God bless
@@903fishing thank u for the reply
I love pond fishing!
Yes sir! Thanks for watching! More coming to the channel! God bless
Great info, could u make the pond bigger and add bigger crappie to correct the issue?
We will just have to start over more than likely. Make the pond bigger, drain it, see what’s in it and go from there. It just needs to be bigger. Thanks for watching! God bless
Nice video
Thanks for watching! God bless brother
Take a cast net and catch some of them back out of there and start over 😊
I might need to brother! Thanks for watching! God bless!
A good friend of mine asked me to stock his pond with crappie about 20 years ago. I added about 30 crappie. He was happy. About 3 years later I caught my first one. It was a beautiful 11 incher. We thought we did a great thing. Recently I learned it was a horrible thing. The pond is not big enough to sustain the population. It’s about 3 acres. Now when I go I can catch a load of 5-7 inch crappie 😢 The huge bream are almost nonexistent. My buddy is older (late 80’s) and I’m not sure he understands what happened but maybe I’ll tell him next time I’m at his lake
That’s exactly what happened to my little pond in this video! That’s why I am tryin to put information out there! Thanks for watching! God bless
@@903fishing thanks for spreading the word! And those first few years, he wasn’t letting anyone keep the crappie except me. 🤦🏾♂️
@@dougnice67 yeah you gotta cull for sure
A friend of mine has a 4-5 acre lake that was once a catfish pond. Over the last 40-50 years bass and bluegill were added and by the time I started fishing it you could never catch a bass over 10-12 inches. The experts told me to fish it as hard as I dared for two years until either I caught nothing or the average catch was over 2 lb. I have caught and ate 100's of bass with once a year catching a big bass and release the big ones. I threw in 5 adult crappie 2 years ago and now that population is about 9-10 inches. The crappie provide food for the bass and the bluegill are still making plenty of food for everyone. Next are a small handful of tilapia to make it better. they keep threatening to drain it and start over so its is not hurting anything. @@903fishing
Only thing worse than throwing crappie in a pond that small is Green sunfish. Easy solution. Throw out every crappie and green sunfish you catch. Everyone of them. And introduce some big bass!
I don’t want to catch bass lol
@@903fishing Im not a fan of bass either. But im smart enough to realize the pond isnt balanced and needs bigger predator fish or human to fix the problem. You can start by not throwing those fish back. Until then that pond will be what it is. It wont fix itself.
@@903fishinghey man have you ever try putting more Bait fish in and catfish and maybe some other breeds of fish to kind of balance the ecosystem out
That's a good little pond to teach the younger generation how to fish.
Thats what its all about man. Finding a good place for kids to learn the basics
Oh yes my niece and nephew go down there and catch little perch all day! Thanks for watching! God bless
You got that right.
Black Crappie are better in smaller bodies of water right?
Negative. We all love crappie but adding them to a small body is disastrous! I learned the hard way. They will cause the whole pond to be in competition for food
The only way I would think black crappie would be “better” for a pond or small lake is because black crappie have smaller mouths and can’t eat what I white crappie can? Idk that’s a tough question. Thanks for watching! God bless
Cool thanks fellas
That can happen for sure.
Yes sir! I learned the hard way! Thanks for watching and the support! God bless!
Takes time but soon it reverses did the same thing to a childhood pond I fished but the mighty survive eat the fry till it balances out. Then caught huge crappie, took ten years. I Added cattails after it caught up to allow the minnow population to advance. Then lost the use after the owner died and his wife leased it out.
Oh man sorry to hear that. I think we are going to just start over. Thanks for watching! God bless
If you plan on a restart plan on cattails they last longer than Christmas trees and are pretty much hassle free, if it were my choice the other side of that fence. Have fun seining, done my share uncle raised channel catfish next to Cherokee lake once a year seined out moss that came from the lake birds transferring into the ponds.
Crappie are savages they may be beautiful but they are mean. I think that's why I'm turning out to be mean I'm eating too many crappie😂
That’s it lol thanks for watching! God bless!
Can you start feeding the fish minnows to make them grow?
Well there are minnows in the pond, but at this point we might just have to start all over! Thanks for watching! God bless
2 options.. 1. Rotenone, and start over. 2. a couple big flathead cats will thin them out.
Yeah I think we are just going to start all over, first by making the pond bigger. Thanks for watching! God bless
Just feed them
Seine it and start over! Use what you catch in the net for catfish bait on another video! 👍👍
Hey man! That sounds like a good idea right there! Thanks for watching! God bless
@@903fishing I’m willing to guarantee that a lot of viewers will watch your video if you seine it..I know I will! I used to do a lot of seining as a young teenager down in southeast Texas and it would bring back a lot of memories watching you do it lol…plus there’s nothing wrong with frying up some of those goggle eyes ( warmouths ) for a catch and cook!!
@@travisnichols5680 you got that right
WELL IF WAS ME I WOULD BE DOING SOME SEINEING WITH A NET TO GET SOME BIGGER FISH OUT OF THE POND AND START FEEDING FLOATING FISH PELLETS ...... THAT WAY YOU CAN KINDA SEE WHATS GOING ON IN THE POND WITH FISH POPULATIONS !!!!!!
You read my mind brother! Could be coming to the channel soon! Thanks for watching! God bless!
@@903fishing GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE !!!!
Any pond is a crappie pond as soon you put a few adults in.
I think that’s big facts. I didn’t know years ago when I put them in there! It’s crazy!
@@903fishing fortunately I learned how to use an electric fillet knife. Little delicate morsels of fish goodness with hushpuppies and fries. I can fillet and eat 15 without breaking a sweat. So tasty.
Hey man it’s not ruined yet start pulling some fish out I wouldn’t work too hard because it is a small pond the heat could make it turn over at some point
True that. Thanks for watching! God bless
Time for some big bass. They will even things out.
They will but I don’t want them in there though. We just going to start over! Thanks for watching! God bless
Just catch a few bass and cats and put in there. It won't take long to right itself
Yeah that would work lol thanks for watching! God bless
Get a professional pond management person to look at pond and tell you what you should do to improve it👍
You know that would be too expensive lol I think my dad wants make the pond bigger. We will see. Thanks for watching! God bless
Great Video!
Thanks for watching! God bless
