Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Optimal feed

I always feed at sunup and sundown. The YP I was feeding last year were all full of Optima when I cleaned them. It wasn't that long ago that 6 seconds left food floating for too long, and it floated against the bank. I still get some if the wind is right. The FHM work on the food against the shore. I'll start adding 10 second increments, and see when it slows down. The HBG have exploded in size and weight. That's exactly what Optima is supposed to do. I'm not sure how much recruitment I've had with the HBG. I don't want very many, as I really prefer to eat the YP.

I don't think any of my fish are starving. There's still FHM and GSH in fair #s in the pond. Three big sunken cedar trees out where the feeder sends the feed. Timer goes to a minute..

I'll be back up next week, and see how many seconds I have to add.
Thx
