1/4 acre can be tough to manage in one direction- as variables change, so does the fishery and it takes a pretty stiff stance in the other direction to correct it.
I would lean heavily in agreeing with jpsdad.. Bass are going to clean house on the numbers but what does get through for BG will be very nice fish. A 10" bass has a fair amount of meat and I think they will have plenty of food up until that 8-9" range where they won't be able to sustain growth anymore. That will change a bit each year as the number of hatch changes and how each YOY class handles the numbers of each other.
