+1 on everything stated above and especially on stocking the Hybrid Striped Bass (HSB). An excellent suggestion that you would not regret if your goal was mainly LMB and BG.

My goal too was trophy LMB in my 2 ac pond, and no small task especially for a rube like me! If I had it to do all over I would be in better shape after 2 years but having the HSB in there is making it all worth while!

Stocked at 5-7" in Sept 2012 they're now pushing 3 lbs and the fight they give is tough to beat!

Welcome, keep reading and researching and be patient!
