TJ, up until a couple years ago, I fed hydrated feed every night. I slowly got away from doing so, as it is messy and takes longer. But watching my fish feed these past few days has caused me to rethink that strategy.
I was asking Scott when he was here the other night, "is this new feed the missing link?...is this the final piece of the puzzle needed to produce 2lb bluegills in our ponds with any sense of "regularity"? If a feed can promote longer lifespans and improved fish health, will that translate into a longer time period in which to feed, and grow bigger? I think it should, which leaves me to try and figure out how to best use that to my advantage.
I'm thinking hydrated feed is more palatable, and more readily consumed in quantity. Especially for younger, smaller fish, during those all-important early growth years. It's easy to feed bigger bluegills, but the future, potential trophy status belongs to those smaller fish. I need to de everything I can to get that feed into those fish.
