The article noted in the link was authored by a knowledgeable fisheries biologist - Norm Latona. Norm has written several articles for PBoss magazine. The food consumption (5%) noted in the article is at the optimum rate and as a bass matures to large size the consumption is often not at the 5% total body weight/day and is closer to 3% where good growth still occurs. Consumed weight of 3% is still a lot of food. As the water cools during winter the food consumption decreases as the water gets cooler.
3zek3l - To keep your bass healthy during winter make an effort to add more of those stunted BG at the rate of about 3-5 BG(3"-5") per bass per week during TX winter(48F-55F). 6 bass x 3BG X 20 weeks = 360-480BG should keep your 6 bass in good body condition till May.
