I would first build a feeding ring. Anchor or tether the ring about as far as you and put pellets into it from shore. This will contain the initial offerings of pellets so they don't float to shore and cause string algae (FA) growth. Maybe let the ring sit in the water for a few days so the fish get accustomed to the ring. Fish will eventually realize pellets are in the ring. IF minnows are in the pond they will find the pellets first then attract the BG. If no minnows then a good way is to get a few pellet trained BG - buy them or get a few from another pond that has pellet feeding. These fish will act as 'teacher fish' and fairly quickly stimulate other BG to eat the pellets.
