Greg,
We have a 2 acre pond, 3 years old, 2.5 years stocked with CNBG,BG, RE, CC, HSB, RBT and the CNBG has been off. I fed lightly all winter, AM 400, 500, 600 and did see a few BG feeding but was attempting to feed the HSB & RBT.
The last couple of weeks, the CNBG & BG have been feeding heavy but only the smaller fish. I did locate some of the larger CNBG & BG on beds which was away from the feeding area.
We had a cool front last week that came in, around 45 degrees, and the fish almost completely quit eating & hitting for 2-3 days afterwards.
Yesterday the fish were hitting slightly slow from normal last year but I guess our catch rate is about every 45-60 seconds rather than every 15-20 seconds. Fish size have been all ranges from 6.5" and smaller, a couple females that are heavy with eggs but no large males, nothing around the feeding area.
My TH feeder is going off 5 times a day at 1 second each time while I monitored the feeding. We are feeding at 11 am,1 pm, 3 pm, 5 pm, & 7 pm Yesterday afternoon around 3 pm the fish consumed the feed within 10 seconds. I will be cranking up the feeder, AM 400, 500 & 600 to 3 seconds each time and add 7 am & 9 am feeding at 1 second and see what takes place.
