From my experience, the CC feed better the warmer the water gets. They are one of the few fish that I've found that respond that way. My guess would be that they are just a little spooked from a few being caught or there is a new forage for them that has popped up that they prefer to the pellets.

I'll start treating my wife as good as my dog when she starts retrieving ducks.
