Hey guys-

I've been lurking for a while gaining lots of great information. I bought a 9 acre pond last year with existing bass that were stunted. My buddies and I have been fishing and keeping everything under 14" or so. We've probably removed 400-500 of them and want to put 3-4" CNBG in to increase the forage base. In addition, I want to feed them optimal bluegill feed. My question is, can those intermediate bluegill eat the regular sized optimal, or would they be better off with the Jr starting off? Thanks in advance!

My 3-4 inch BG respond much better to the Optimal Jr.

Go with some of each. You won't regret it.

If YOY BG survival is important, you might try some of the starter feed. Especially in protected areas adjacent to BG beds.
