Bruce,
I have said many times that I'm feeding my bass algae...and get incredulous reactions. The algae feeds the Tilapia, the Tilapia feeds the bass, and the pond meister is one happy camper....without artificial feeding bills or the associated "pollution" or the training of bass to eat BG feeding on pellets rather than take lures or the use of chemicals and on and on.
This has been my theory/approach for three years now...widely rejected by many/most on the Forum, but in one pond it is working spectacularly...and soon will be the system in all ponds for predator based fishing on Meadowlark Ranch.
Do they keep things on even keel? Well, I'll say this, pond management is a breeze with them in the pond, but they haven't done much for the rest of my life as to even keel.
