How did your fish feed today?

My surface temp is still teetering on 80*, but feeding was still off this afternoon. Visibility still around 24". I switched to completely dry pellets instead of hydrating to prevent throwing excess food. They ate it, but it took a while and very lethargic. We've got another system moving in from the south, so it could be barometric pressure causing their finickiness.


Could be that recent rain (after a long drought) and lower temps shocked fish a bit, especially southern strain F LMB and CNBG. I'm seeing tons of small YOY fish, a welcome change from last year, which could also explain why larger fish have full tummies & are less interested in feed.

Wasn't out at my BOW today, it's an hour drive so I'm not there every day. With new mobile home, I plan to show up a lot more often! grin
