I have a 1/3 acre pond that is about 14 yrs old with about 15-20 lg mouth bass, some are up to 3 lbs and a few small bass that survived from babies. There is little to no vegetation as I control the growth of it and I have a bubbler so the water is crystal clear. I have always feed the bass with minnows (usually about 2 lb of them every 2-3 wks). They just go crazy when I feed them. I have decided to use Purina game chow pellets since minnows were getting expensive. I have tried feeding the same time each day now for about 4 days, but the bass do not seem to want to eat it. By the way, I broadcast into the sides of my pond barley pellets to control algae about twice a summer which look about like the game chow pellets. Is that why the bass won't eat the pellets? If anyone has any suggestions on how to get the bass to eat the pellets, please let me know. Maybe they will never eat the pellets since they always ate minnows. Thank you.
