I was at my pond this weekend and threw out some Aquamax 500 to watch the bluegill eat. I really enjoy seeing the fish come up and eat the pellets. Usually a school of bluegill shows up and eats the food relatively quickly. This time there were also 10 to 15 bass that were also eating the pellets. I was very surprised because I did not stock feed trained bass. They learned this behavior on their own. Most of the bass were probably 2 to 3 pounds. It was very calm and easy to see so I could tell they were eating the pellets and not the bluegill. It was very cool to watch. I guess I will set my automatic feeder to feed more since I am now feeding catfish, bluegill, and bass. Has anyone else had bass that started eating pellets that were not feed trained?

Oh yeah, quite a few actually.

Yes, it's great when LMB start taking feed.

Mine have too from early on, stocked 2012.

If you can get some AQ LMB food it's really a treat watching them attack it! As well as the HSB if you them as well.

I have a handful that have learned to eat AM 600 or AM LMB. Peculiar to me that some will take to it while others won't.

I have a few that eat pellets also...... Self taught

Mine eat the BG that come to the feeder.

I have a few too, I would say less than 1%.
