Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Evaluating and adjusting fish populations Pellet-trained bass

Follow the fish..they will tell you how much to feed. Exercise good judgement, however, and don't overfeed. Too much feed yields too much fish waste, which taints water quality. If you are feeding much more than 10-15 pounds of pellets per acre, per day, you are overfeeding. Cull fish before getting to that point. If each feeder is feeding 5 or 6 pounds daily, and your fish show continued growth, your plan is working. Increase feed based on increased growth, or lack thereof. Keep records of fish delivered, then record fish you catch and compare lengthes and weights over time. The story will unfold.
