Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding feed for bg/ small lmb

I'm finally having some luck with some bg feeding, is there any trick to get any of the small (2-5in) bass to start on the pellets? This 2 acre pond I had stocked with some HSB in late April but they haven't fed yet. I thought maybe I could get some of the 100's small bass to feed? using silver cup pellets, should I crush some up or water them down for the small lmb? This lake has a very low pop of bg so their forage is slim, I hope to get some on the pellets and/or eaten by the HSB or other bigger bass since the bg pop. is so low.

thanks for the time

If the LMB aren't feed trained, and they aren't in a cage, I doubt that you'll be able to feed train them.

You might want to catch as many as you can out, and replace them with the same sized feed trained LMB. Smaller LMB aren't expensive, and it'll save you a lot of headaches.
