During the summer of 2007 I lost the entire population of fish in a 7 acre shallow pond. This fall after having a four to five foot canal dug along one side of the pond it was restocked with 700 brim and 300 shell cracker. These fish were approx 2" at the time of release.I do not intend to put any other fish in this pond. It my intention to catch the fish when mature and ditribute them to adjacent ponds to repopulate ponds that have become deficent in brim due to predation by bass.

The two feeders that I am considering are the Moultrie MEMFHFP30 and the Aqua Pro ADF-150DX. Any pro or cons on the feeders would be greatly appreciated. I realize there are better feeders on the market. But, do to budget constraints I am trying to strike a happy medium. Also typically how long will the 6 volt batteries last and are the solar panels a worth while investment?

lastly, is it to early to begin fedding as far as the size of the brim. I do realize i need to wait until the water temps reach 60 degrees.
