If it is a warm, sunny day I will throw some sinking pellets around the perimeter of the pond in 1-4' water. Water temp in the low 40's.
I only do it if I see some fish coming toward the shore as I drive around, only do it once every few days, and only feed about 1/4 or less of what I would normally feed in the summer. Max of 2/3# per acre per feeding. So a very small amount compared to what the fish eat on a daily basis in warmer conditions. I feed max about 3# per acre in the summer almost every day as supplemental feed.
Will not pretend I'm doing anything correctly, but that was not the question.
Mostly small fish are the ones I see show up. Maybe the bigger ones are out deeper, can't tell. But the small ones are the ones I can see from the shore pecking at the pellets not too aggressively.
