Unless you are going to money whip your pond and plan on dumping tons of Golden Shiners into the mix, I would not count on them as your saviour. In your neck of the woods, I would plan on harvesting way more bass than what has been talked about earlier. Double or triple that number ASAP! The faster you get them out, the faster you will see an increase in RW. Next, make sure that the bluegill you have in your pond are available for your bass to eat easily. If your bass are roaming around chasing down food, they are not putting on good weight.
