Once they are hitting the feed right away, every time you walk to the pond throw in a quarter to half a handful. In time they will "hear" your footsteps and be waiting for you to feed them in addition to eating the food that is coming from the feeder.

The fish will actually start to congregate around the feeder before it goes off. That's why keeping to a regimented feeding schedule is so important, and it's easiest to do with an automatic directional feeder.
