For your current low pH consider starting with YP and JUST one LM bass. Add about 100 YP any size into your 0.3 ac. If you are an angler consider adding just one hybrid striped bass or one SM bass, or just one channel catfish or just one bowfin, or just one snakehead with the one LMbass. Single individuals of two or three different of each predator specie should control the YP numbers. IMO for your situation and your goals you do not want predators reproducing making lots of new predators that overpower the forage fish community Pond Boss had a very good article by Dr. Neal about benefits of snakehead. I will look for the issue that had this article. See post later below.
