30:1 to 60:1 ratio between Bluegill and Bass, stock 500 Redear Sunfish per acre too, on top of the Bluegill numbers.
As for timing, stock the Golden Shiners asap, the BG/RES (at 2.5"-4") as early in the Spring as possible, and the LMB at 5" in late Spring , early Summer. You could wait until the Fall to stock the Bass too, but stock the bass at 5"-7" length to help ensure that you are getting the fast growing fish from that hatch vs. the left over runts. Stocking bass at that length will eliminate the BG from predating on the bass, which could happen if you stocked LMB that were only 2" long.
The 30/1 + numbers are based on stocking 2-3 inch fish BG and LMB. If you are going to stock 5"-6" LMB then reduce the numbers to 35 per acre max. I would go even less if you are going to stock HSB. The real key for LMB population mgt on newly stocked ponds is the number that survive to year 1(or 2 up north depending on stocking time)
and reproduce. If you stock larger fish (6 in.) then they will have a higher survival rate to year 1. All the data on stocking #s are based on small stockers (2-4 in. fish).
