Dave, I have a 16 gallon straight shooter. Like you the price got me. It is OK at best as a fish feeder. I have not had a problem with clogging but my complaint is the maximum amout of feed released at each of the two feedings. At best you can feed about 1.5 pounds of feed a day. I have ended up buying a new Game Country feeder and using this feeder as a shore line feeder on the other side of the pond.

By the way the Bream and Hybrids are still feeding and biting, I caught 12 fat bream and 4 2-3 pound stripers yesterday
