If you're going to eat, that's good because you can harvest you bass well after a while. Having it just out front makes it easy.
Do you plan on feeding?? The CNBG's will be easy to feed. You'd have to get feed trained lmb.
The pond is 1.5 acres, right? Those numbers aren't too aggressive, which is good. You can't put in too many FH, and frankly if you're feeding (and eating) your BG I'd look at putting in more and larger BG - especially since they'll just spawn by summer. Getting a really good forage base in place, with lots of BG's that will be big enough to escape predation is key.
Do you also plan on aerating?
