Update on the bass - The feeder has been going for 6 days and the bass have been coming up pretty well. They are small (6-8 inches)but I'm really encouraged that they are coming up hitting the food. The pond is over 4 acres so some of them dispersed and will likely never come back to the feed but at least 20 can be seen at any one time once that feeder goes off.

I'm feeding the small Aquamax 500 pellets for now but plan up upgrading the size as they grow. I have some AQ Largemouth but the bass can't seem to get it in their mouths yet.
