What is your time line? The "NORMAL" recommendation for West Texas stocking is 1,000 BG, 3 to 4 inch, a couple hundred redear sunfish and 5 to 10 pounds of fathead minnows per acre. Next year, add 3 or 4 inch bass. That assumes no drought and a plentiful supply of forage for the bass. Shad are a good idea but only after you assure that the LMB survived enough to handle them.
Have your water quality texted before proceeding.
My biggest concern, and why I emphasized NORMAL, is that 50 relatively shallow acres, after a rainy year, can shrink pretty quickly leaving an overstocked water hole with too many fish for the available oxygen. When the O2 crashes, fish die and somebody has a big floating mess to deal with. Abilene, like everywhere else in West Texas, is not known for consistent rains. If it were me, and it's not, I would probably go with about 1/2 of the above recommendation. If you learn any new rain dances, let me know. The ones I've used in the past haven't worked out very well.
