Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding What % of the fish go to feeder??????

Since I'm in the process of harvesting, last Saturday morning while feeding at 7am, I caught 1 HSB and 2 LMB in the feeding zone.

2 hours later while fishing the perimeter of my 2 acre pond, I caught 3 more LMB, 2 at the opposite end of where I feed, nearly 400' away and they were hunkered in next to some lay-downs. To my surprise when I cleaned them, all 5 had AM LMB pellets in their bellies. All LMB were between 2.75 & 3 lb.

Maybe it's normal but I was very surprised to see that they will travel that far for the 7am feeding. And I religiously feed at 7am every morning, by hand in the same area, and have for the past 3-4 years.

If I wait until 7:30, there's very little activity and none after 8am, and like others, there's no activity if I throw food outside of the "feed zone".

Anyone have any experience or knowledge in fish travelling towards the dinner bell? And maybe how far they will, or have travelled?
