Vincent, I have the same issue with my mom. Our pond is only 1/2 acre with 150 channels 100 copps and 50 bass. Try what I did get you another feeder and put on the opposite side of the lake. Or try making it to the pond early in the morning and dumping some feed in different spots. Do that for about a week, you should be able to fish your way and if you have enough fish stocked your mom can have it her way, then everyone can have a coke and a smile. It's what I did. Woman i tell ya lol.. My mom thinks of our catfish as her friends, she'll talk to em, and feeds them like crazy. I stocked them 5 years ago and they're are some that come to feed maybe 20 that are over 20 pounds, let her keep on doing it, they'll get big!!!
