I finally got what I wanted! Now, how do I manage it properly? 1/4-1/3 acre pond stocked with BG, SC, CC and LMB. Somehow, I ended up with GS and BH. Not really a problem for me, especially the GS. I love them!

History:
In 2009 it was a newly dug pond and I stocked it with bream and CC in october here in Louisiana, near Baton Rouge. In October, I stocked the LMB. Over the years I saw evedence of LMb fingerlings, but never like this year. They are at water's edge on all four sides. I was extremely excited to see this. But then, I realize there is no evidence of minnows, bream fingerligs, CCs, or even the nusance bullheads that somehow got in there. Finally, i believe I can enjoy some bass fishing and eating, at a high degree.

My opinion:
I know this will take carefull managing to aquire and mantain the results I want. Please help! Heres my thoughts. Over the next few weeks, add several lbs of minnows for the fingerlings, harvest 12"or bigger LMB slowly and observe the results before moving further. Based on what I have read here over the years, I think I may be on the right track.
My primary goal at this point is bass fishing. What are your thoughts?
