I don't think you'll need 50# per acre down there. I think it's much less if they are stocked early enough in the year before FA gets it's grubby mitts on the pond. I found that the magic number up here is 40# per surface acre.

IIRC Dave and Bob tried way more than that per acre without success, but that was after FA was well established in the pond.
