I agree with Theo's thinking. Another way to look at it is that I hate vegetables, but if I am hungry enough, I will eat them. Other people love to eat only vegetables. Some bass may prefer pellets, but you may need to starve the others to get them to eat them. I would be very surprised if all of your LMB would stop eating BG, but with feeding, the ones that prefer pellets would definitely decrease the pressure on the BG when they go after the feeders. The question is would the increase in BG population that would follow be beneficial to the bass that don't eat the pellets. My gut response is yes, because it gives them more available forage.
