I would set up regular feeding times, that way the larger fish won't be hanging around the feeding area all day long waiting for a handout. They will get conditioned to the feed times and will move in and out of the feeding area depending on time of day.

I have an automatic feeder on my pond (Texas Hunter) and it is set to go off an hour after sunrise and about an hour before sunset. If I walk out there, I will take a handful of feed and throw it into the pond.

The fish don't hang around the feeder all day long, but they will follow me around the pond as I walk to the feeder for their handout. They also know the feed times and start congregating around the feeder about 1/2 hr before it is due to dispense the food.
