Ml, you did not answer do you think the pond was greener, les vis, than prior to tilapia?, thanks
I understand you point...I just have never, not even once, seen a bass feed to satiation at a feeder. So I will be stocking tilapia and feeding.
You mention feeder and fishing pressure, yet in your experiment you stopped both and have reported better catches, right? I think it is the fishing pressure that makes the diff not the feeding.
On HSB when we shock them from ponds they have always been near the deeper water.
