Couple questions.
Are you planning on feeding fish feed pellets?
Did your original 10# of FHM spawn?
I stocked 30# FHM in 3 acres 2013, but they were put in in March and no bass till November of same year. I had FHM multiple spawn and gazillions of FHM fry. They became so thick in schools I started to wonder if FHM could overpopulate a pond.
Still had a good population (but much thinner) going into this fall.
If your original 10# did not do the trick on a quarter acre and you do not have tons of FHM, I question what another batch would do for you. Some fish food might be a better investment. When the water warms back up in spring that is.
Soon after your SMB spawn (if they do), any FHM will be toast when the fingerling bass get after them.
Not an expert, just my opinion.
