As Sunil says "the power of pellet feeding" when done correctly has been proven many times by Pond Boss Forum members. Jasons shows what pellet feeding can do to produce great growth of newly stocked bluegill in a new pond habitat. Note his feeding frequency. Growth from 1.5" fingerlings to very nice 7"-8" fish in just 4 1/2 months is possible even in northern ponds over the course of one summer. Lack of competition from other over abundant recruitment bluegill also helps in allowing the newly stocked BG to daily get plenty of pellets for rapid growth. Getting good growth early in the fish's life and keeping the BG from becoming too abundant are important for producing the trophy size bluegill.
Jason - Thanks for the great update. Keep us advised as to how well these BG are growing next year.
