To start I would get a bag of GameFish Chow. It has multi sized pellets and works well for all sizes of BG. After survey results are in you can adjust product and size to fit the situation.

A note for all - if I put out GFC , AM 600 and some LMB pellets at the same time and place the BG (all sizes) will go after the large sized LMB pellets by a big factor over the GFC or AM. Not suggesting you feed BG LMB pellets but just noting the results.

True. I was thinking that the fish in the picture were spawned from last year, and that the 500 would be small enough for those brood fish to eat. AquaMax Grower 400 (D504) is the smallest floating food, isn't it?

Agree! They also attack AM800 agressively after they seemed to have eaten their fill of AM500/600 and are supposedly done feeding. I fed some as a trial but the bass never got to eat any because the HBG swarmed the AM800 pellets and shredded them. My bass are content with the AM600.

Sorry, had to venture away from this thread for a while but love coming back to read opinions and input. Really appreciate all the feedback.

My neighbor & I fished it pretty hard this past weekend. We've had several weeks of 65-70 degree weather which has pushed the temps up to the low 60's.....not a single bite. I even threw out a bobber with nightcrawlers under it. Nothin.

ewest, thanks for the tip on the lakeservices site. I shot them an email (since it's weekend hours) and if I don't hear from them over the weekend I'll give them a call Monday. They may be the ticket.
