In order to balance a fishery, we need to produce enough food to properly, and consistently, sustain a variety of sizes of game fish. When predator fish are overcrowded, forage fish can't reproduce adequately to maintain, much less grow, predator fish. With good information, you can make good decisions. That's why electrofishing is important. Anything that's randomly done...stocking fish, assuming the bream are bluegill, assuming the entire population of bass is stunted and underweight...is a crap shoot. That means random decisions. The sad thing is you really won't know the impact of these random decisions for a year or two. I would figure out a way to electrofish and get some baseline data. Other than that, cull bass, stock adult bluegill, feed and fertilize. And...keep records of bass caught. Log lengths and weights by dates. Over time, compare data and you will see a change (or not) of the fishery.
