Bill, the site makes it easier to learn. I know I have a good population control stratgey. I go bass fishing about once every 2 weeks and I use my trap to catch about 20 little bream out of the pond. So you look at 20 every 2 weeks, average that with the 50 cats, spawining and so on, there will always be enough pellet feed to go around. lol the same trap I used to stock the pond is the same I use to unstock it for bait ;\)
