Welcome from a fellow Hoosier. If you want bass, take a hard look at Smallmouth bass. Those and Hybrid Striped Bass. RES and HBG too. Ever think about YP in the mix?

Get the forage base started first, FHM and Golden Shiners.

Not saying that you shouldn't go with the HBG only, but personally I like diversity.
