I sure would. for the reason we just discussed. you cant control the rain, giving feed to your bluegill is critical to keeping them healthy right now. As the bloom becomes established the bluegill will have more natural food available. Bluegill get lots of food from the fertilizer. as long as you monitor the bloom (daily or at least weekly) and adjust your feeding and fertilizer rates when needed you will have great fishing.

I use fertilizer and feeding programs when the lake is stocked with hybrid bass. they can also be good when stocking threadfin shad. the bloom is great for establishing shad populations.
