OUTSTANDING!!!! And welcome to Pond Boss!!!

That structure under the dock is very interesting.

Your stocking plan should really produce some huge LMB in a short time frame. What size Bluegill do you think you will get in Spring '24? I ask because ideally, you'd want to get a Bluegill spawn in before stocking the LMB. Also, with Golden Shiners heavily established before the Bluegill get off a spawn, it will be interesting to see if the nest-egg-raiding aspect of Golden Shiners has an impact on the strength of the Bluegill spawn.
