I have been toying with the idea of using some fine netting to make a minnow feeder that would use pellet food. I see the problem of feeding minnows as most of the food that sinks settles out before they can eat it, the floating food float to shore, I was thinking of a plastic water battle for a bouy and a mesh bag hanging below if full of soaked feed, this way it would float around the pond and the minnows could peck at it until it was gone, then I could add more.

Yesterday I took a recent varmint kill and harvested maggots off of it and fed them, it looked like shark week onthe discovery channel, except with FH minnows being the sharks....lame I know, but they are the only fish I have in the new pond so far.
