EWEST & Greg,
No disagreement from me on EWEST's last post.
However, this discussion may have shed more light (to me at least) on previous discussions we had regarding feeding, LMB aggression, and using Tilapia to offset the need for feeding...
Just as a test, this weekend, I'm going to take a handful of pellets to the "pure" F1 pellet trained bass experimental pond that has not seen any pellets at all since stocking in April. Take a guess what will happen...my guess is that the "pellet" trained bass will ignore the pellets, that BG will come up to feed on the pellets and maybe Tilapia, and the F1's will chase the BG that come up to feed on the pellets. I'll try that and report on Monday.
p.s. I'm assuming that one handful of pellets won't invalidate my experiment to determine the effects of no feeding and assess if Tilapia can offset feeding?
Meanwhile we wait for the report on Mr. Sullivan's pond.
