Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Moultrie 30 gallon feeder

If the fish (mainly talking about LMB here) are not feed trained when stocked, they won't feed train themselves.

I would strongly advise you not to stock crappie in the pond. There's a ton of information on here why not to stock them in small ponds.

You can also buy feed trained Yellow Perch. While they might not last forever in your pond, they would provide another angling opportunity and also provide food for the LMB.

In my pond, which at full pool is close to the size of yours, I have one feeder. Some fish on the opposite side of the pond are thinner than the ones on the side where the feeder is. BUT, I have a Stren AquaPro feeder, and it's turned down to feed the minimum amount possible, so I'd be overfeeding if I had 2 feeders. Texas Hunter feeders have a finer feeding adjustment on them, so if I had 2 of them, I could feed the same total amount but in 2 different places.

Some people have good luck with Moultrie Feeders, some don't.
