Find another fish stocker/seller. I believe this guy may be looking out for his interests($) instead of yours.

MY opinion on how I would spend YOUR $.:

The fathead minnow # is OK.
I don't like the shiner minnows at all.
With bass predation, stock 2,000 BG or CNBG per acre.
OK on the HBG.
Increase the # of Redears to 20% of BG stocked.
Bass next year instead of the Fall. It sounds like this guy may want to let you buy any unsold bass going into winter.
I wouldn't stock over 100 cats per acre.
Consider some hybrid stripers along with the bass and cut down somewhat on the bass.
Ask all homeowners to please not bucket stock anything from area lakes. They probably will anyway.

Push hard for aeration.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
