Flame, my fish were feeding at 6 seconds right before that last cold spell 10 days or so back, and then we hit those cold nights with 32 degree temps and the fish slowed way back. I reduced to 2 seconds at the three feeders but the fish in 5 foot and shallower slowed down feeding so I cut them back to one second. The feeder in 10 foot water depths are still feeding fish pretty good. I am guessing the shallow water fish moved to deeper water. I have seen no floaters so that my best guess.
Pondwish, yes I monitor the feeding fish to determine food distributed, But as water warms up I have to watch out because they will eat most all the feed thrown even at 30 second feeding, and that is a lot of feed. Al( Fireishot) told me while back, I feed way more food than he does, and he has a nice pond with big fish
So there u go lol "it depends"
