ok fishkeeper let us know what you are looking for. I have several real estate agents as clients and they let me know their inventory for property listings with lakes. You are way ahead of the game it seems if you have yet to even buy the property.
Also keep in mind 5 acres are so fairly limited on trophy bass production. I liek aeration but do not think it is 100% neccesary just another item you want if you can have it.

This is basically your plan I suggest if budget allows per acre to grow some monster bass. Ideally you would put in the forage fish September through March. Followed by bass fingerliings in June. Lots of vairiables could change this but in general this is the receipe.

cnbg 2000
res 400
fathead minnows 2000
golden shiners 10 lbs
crayfish 40 lbs.
threadfin shad 1/2 load ( ~2,000) (good up to 10 acres)
largmouth bass- florida- 25
largemouth bass- F1- 25

This is a 48:1 "bream" to bass ration plus all the extra forage. Good luck.
