My wife is getting started on her christmas list and I would like her to get me a feeder. Problem is I don't know which brand is the most reliable and trouble free. I have been hand feeding my bluegill, and 10" to 12" bass are eating feed too. they love the (aquamax grower 400)=5D04 is product code. Would like to keep feeding this size since they really tear it up.Here in Indiana my fish are still eating but slowing down. Just think my fish would benefit more on a timely basis then every few days getting fed. I think I get more enjoyment watching them eat then catching them. Any advice on which feeder to get would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the great information prvided on this site.
