I'm not qualified to suggest harvest numbers for other species, but since your predators are SMB, WE, and (perhaps) some very large YP, I think you need to be very aggressive wrt BG removal. Like taking out EVERY BG caught below 8"-9", and doing your best to remove every BG above that limit that isn't clearly Male. I realize the latter will be hard or impossible on a pay fishing pond. And getting people to throw little BG on the bank can be difficult as well.

I believe for other species, harvest numbers/slot limits will probably have to be adjusted as time goes by based on the (apparent) population & size structure of each species.
