Well, I shut down my feeder when the water temps went below 50 degrees. Not many YP were hitting the feed, on the surface.. I was under the impression that they wouldn't feed with temps below 50.
It's down below 40 degrees now, I don't think I should restart the feeder, but should I have kept it going? Assuming that the YP were hitting it after it started to sink, along with the RES?

Thanks

I would stop feeding in mid 50s - if YP are still sporadically hitting pellets you could just hand feed so you're not committed to 1 second throws which may equate into wasted feed/excess nutrients.
