Hmm if catfish dont mess anything up I might just do that. Also when stocking if I add my bass gradually is that better than dumping them all in at once? Like when I stock my sunfish maybe stock a few bass as well. Then wait a several months while my bluegills can grow enough to not get eaten before stocking the rest? That should give the first bass some time to get big and start eating bluegills and crayfish while the newer and smaller bass feed on flatheads.
Also like shiners my dad is very against adding shad. Any reason not to? With Shad, Crayfish, and a healthy sunfish population that should produce some lunkers eventually. Also if we have shad I think using topwater baits will be more effective especially a zera spook.
