I would start with 30-50 SMB in the 1.3 ac from mostly 6"-12" maybe a few 14". Allow the forage base and some vegetation to become established before the first spawn of SMB. Smaller sizes are probably better until you have the forage base established with more in pond production of 4"-6" YP. You could even be okay with 25-30 smallies. Then stock some 6"-10" next year maybe 10--15. That is how I would begin.
YP and SMB can work well for you in your area. It is a natural combination for these fish with your current forage fish base.
