My LMB don't eat my pellet that I throw in like my BG and CC do.
There are a couple that do but most don't. I can see them swimming around but they won't eat it. I can catch a live bug and toss it in there and it won't last a second.
Didn't know if anyone knew anything I could try. I put in 20 lbs of FHM and they do eat them. Just was looking for something I could get to put in and watch them eat it.

I had the same problem. I watched them eyeball small BG that came to feed, and they would try and grab a small BG if I caught one. I started catching small BG, cuting off their tail, and pinning them on a very small hook. I'd toss it out there, and keep it in the zone until a LMB found it. As soon as they grabbed it, I'd yank the small hook out of the BG. I got the LMB trained so they'd jump out of the water for a BG when I'd start to lower a BG down to the water.
