I would not stock the Gizzard Shad now, you don't have enough large LMB in the lake to take advantage of the food that they will produce. Gizzard shad will grow too fast from YOY to allow the smaller bass to eat them, and you have no larger bass to control the adults.

I also agree about getting a good biologist there. You can harvest a LOT of bass in a short amount of time with an electro shock boat.

Without removing a LOT of smaller bass, you will not be able to get the lake turned around by stocking forage fish.
