Josh - The bigger you want them to become in your 4 ac "lake" the fewer there will be per acre. My best guess is that if they get to 10 lbs+ (34"-40") you will be able to have only one or if things are perfect maybe two musky per acre. Once you get those few fish hook smart by constantly harrassing them with that long stick, you will rarely catch them. Try it and let us know how it is going.
Your best bet is to probably fed them either bass (1.5 - 2 lbers)or gizzard shad or both. Carp or suckers won't work well because they will mud up the water and musky won't be able to see to feed on them. Bluegills will not produce large muskies. You need a large slender bodied preyfish.
