TJ, I have to admit I'm enjoying the newest trick my LMB have learned. Last Fall they started hovering around the feeders about thirty minutes before they threw, and I was throwing 4 times a day. These LMB were uncatchable. I threw everything from pellet flies to 6" swimbaits. Nothing.
So, the second the feeders throw, the CNBG go into a feeding frenzy and the LMB literally blow them out of the water feeding on them. I guess the CNBG are distracted and it may be the coolest thing I've ever seen. So, I guess my LMB are in fact feed trained. They did the same thing this morning after 3 months of being in the deeper water, and nowhere to be found.
