Removing 300-400 bass is a good start. If almost all the bass are 8"-10" then stocking 5"-8" CC will allow many to survive especially if the CC are closer to 7"-8" long. Check with your fish seller as to specific size of the CC. Look for and buy only those closer to 7"-8".
Let us know if you can catch bass on a trout line and how you do it. I suspect your catch rate will be low. Best way to catch bass is to use small live fish hooked in the mouth or behind the dorsal fin and under a small slender bobber.
