Hey guys, I'm not sure I'm going to do this, but just thought of the crazy idea. Just curious as to the MINIMUM Size a pond needed to successfully hold crappie and bluegill. I'd love to have bass, BUT, I have a feeling the pond size would need to be much bigger then to just hold Crappie and blue gill..

So to make it short:

How big does a pond need to be to hold Crappie and Bluegill, if you can give me a size in yards that'd be great! Thanks!

 Actually you wouldn't believe how small some of the ponds are that I've fished and caught bass :o. The Wildlife Agency for your area would probably be your best bet. I think that kind of question needs a professional answer. A viable producing pond is not a small undertaking :-/...

Tell me if this would work, and I'm not sure it would, you guys may laugh..

My girlfriend has a swimming pool in her backyard. Not sure on the exact size, it's not a big swimming pool, but it's a real swimming pool .

Right now, there's tons of junk it in, tree branches, dirt, grass, concrete blocks and slabs in there, basically it's not a functioning pool...

They don't use it for anything. I figured why not empty it out, fill it up with dirt and all that junk that's mostly already in there, and then fill it on up!

would that work? Or is it much more complicated then that?
