The CC are spotty but they just cruise up and suck em down. The HSB an YP are very splashy. Always feed by hand and always enjoy it.


The HSB surprised me at how much they eat. Just put them in this past may at about 2 and 1/2 pounds each. Only put in 6 and they seem to have staked out their feeding area near the shore in about 2 feet of water. I expected them to feed in deeper water. They do splash a lot and don't seem to mind my being a few feet from them. I'd like to try to get them to eat from my hand but there is one huge snapping turtle that comes to eat pellets right in front of me and I don't want him latching onto my fingers.
