Also, I might add my thought on how I would do it.
Fathead minnows and threadfin shad from the start.
Let them spawn then stock up to 200 white crappie per acre...not blacks. This stocking rate is rather high but since you are trying to control crappie reproduction the initial stockers are what you are trying to grow...then you can thin them out if you need to.
Stock bluegill one year later in the spring at a rate of 500 per acre for crappie fry control.
Stock 50 HSB per acre when you stock your bluegill.
Stock tilapia 2 years after crappie were stocked for more forage production if desired.
Stock 20 lbs golden shiners every February to eat crappie at their larval and fry stages.
I think Bruces' suggestions about cover are good, also add dense vertical cedar cover.
This plan is experimental. I've yet to have a customer actually follow the plan as prescribed.
I think threadfins are very important here, as well as a combination of management and stocking techniques aimed at crappie population control.
I don't think you should stock LMB, partly because they may restrict your options later on if you decide to stock more crappie or baitfish. Also stunted bass are like stunted green sunfish...they can eat your potential crappie forage when it is small.
