Winston, maybe things are just a little slow on the forum right now.
It sounds like you are on the right track to remove LMB. You may need to remove as many as 250-300 of them.
It also sounds like you may not have enough forage or bait fish, so the suggestion to get some larger bluegill is sound, I think.
Maybe you could look at some other options for forage like Golden Shiners.
You may want to consider putting in some structure to help forage fish survive a little longer, at least until then can spawn.
