My time/feeding place are consistant. In answer to an earlier post, coppernose were stocked in Nov '02 and the bass June '03. The bass I caught (and released) last year were from 12" to 15" and fat. Last fall, I also noticed perhaps as many as 100 10-12" bass "cruising" the shallows for bait.
I might add that in the first summer (either before or about the time of putting in the bass) I rarely got more than what I thought was 50 fish coming up for feed.
Now it seems I may have 100 but when I see pictures or TV shows, their water seems to boil with fish hitting. For me, a 50# sack of feed lasts a summer.
One more note, I occasionally wait an hour and go feed again. When I do, I get the same response.
I have no cover in my pond. Do I need to add cover in order to protect the bluegill?
