I now have my two new sweeny feeders from Greg Grimes set up and running. I would highly recommend the dock legs to go with the feeders even if you are not going to put it on a dock just because of the height they add to the feeder. Having the feeder higher off of the ground increases the distance it throws the food by about two or three feet. I have now increased my rate of feed to 200 pounds per week which is much higher than last year. I would like to increase my rate even higher but am concerned with water quality and the price of fish food. I have increased my feeding rate in response to this post and Bruce telling me my fish were thin. I just discovered a new problem after I installed one of the new feeders. It appears that the channel catfish spawned again last year and I have hundreds of one year old catfish at the new feeder. I wanted to feed bass and bluegill not a hoard of catfish. Have any of you had success at removing catfish. I have been removing about fifty pounds a week and thought i was making progress until I saw all of the new ones.
