You won't "have to" start feeding, but it will get the fish to grow faster. Even with a pond 1,000' away from power, you can bury flexible black poly tubing that far and still get enough air to the pond. I'd bury 1" tube, and reduce it to the 1/2" self-sinking air line once it reaches the pond. Go with what CJ recommended and you should have your problem solved. The jet ski will only mix the top of the water column, not top to bottom like a bottom diffuser/aeration system.
