First I want to tell you I am not even close to being an expert or even giving advice, but I have a 60 acre lake and I can tell you what I would do over. Get as many bait fish in as soon as you can. Spend your money here. All sizes I think would be better than just small fish. This may help keep unwanted fish from getting a good start. When you want to put your bass in, If you get larger fish ( 10 to 15 inches) I believe you will get more for your money. They will spawn which will result in more small fish quicker.
If I would of stocked the way the state recommended it would of cost me $35000 for the small sized fish. I just bought what I could afford at the time. I have maybe spent $3000 to $4000 on fish and I still have a hard time catching any nice fish. I am going on 8 years now. Good luck and put some pictures up.
