You'll be suprised how fast they learn. Are they spitting out all sized pellets, or just the larger ones?
I don't think they like the crunchiness and they're a bit leery of the floaters. If it's squishy and sinking, they're all over it. Of course these are the adolescents that aren't very shy and easy to catch. I did see one mature adult come for it but he stayed down deeper and wasn't as eager to wolf it down. I also had a hard-shell turtle swimming around in the chum cloud trying to get a piece before the bream ate it all up.
That stuff must put out some good smell.
Since this is only a weekend thing at best and we can't get out there more often, should I expect them to take to it and eat the hard ones off of the surface?
