This weekend I am going to dial down the timer on our TH feeder to 20 seconds twice each day from the 40 seconds twice each day I have been running since early May. That takes the daily feed volume from a total of 2.2 pounds (Aquamax MVP) per day down to 1.1 pounds per day (1.6 acre pond).

My TH LM135 feeder throws 4.3 ounces of MVP every 10 seconds for reference.

Our place is in west central Illinois, just northeast of St. Louis. Fishing is usually over for the season by early November.

Wondering how all of you dial down your feeding as fall approaches and winter nears. The last 2 years I have done it slowly over the month of October. My next move will be to set the timer down to 10 seconds twice each day in Mid-October. After that I will just let the feeder run until the feed is gone and then shut it down for the winter.

What is your procedure? Any better ideas/procedures out there? I welcome any suggestions. Thanks. BM61.
