some people do (our friends in OZ raise yabbies and stuff) just keep in mind that craw fish tend to be escape artists.
Bluegill and channel Catfish are great fish.
Dang, your well water comes up in the low 50's? Is that year round????? Ours down here is like 72-74 F.

Nice. Now the Channel catfish from an aquaponics system won't taste muddy. And I'll say tilapia are over rated, even down here in Central FL they need heating during the cold spells.
I can give you a thumbs up on starting with bluegill though. (But the catfish are good too.)
A deep well might bring up cold water but it won't help a whole lot chilling water unless you are willing to constantly be wasting water . To me Aquaponics should be recirculating, not constantly having new water pumped in, then it would just be flow through aquaculture.
