Coach - the sinking food you saw was hydrated pellets of Aquamax carnivore 5D06. AM 5D05 (500) will hydrate the same as and a little quicker than 600. When damp it will not sink unless it is broken into smaller pieces or the pellets are rolled or squeezed and air is worked out of the pellet. YP generally will not feed at the surface when water temp is less than 48-49F, although they will readily eat sinking pellets at those lower temperatures. Surface feeding becomes a little more aggressive once water reaches 50F. Surface feeding activity of YP increases as water approaches 60F.
