I may try it in the spring. I'm about out of feed and will not be getting more until then. Anyone think there will be a chance on a mixture of JR and BG in the same bag? I know I could just buy two bags and mix myself...but trying to keep my feeding in the budget I can't spring for two at a time and keep mrs. peach happy about feeding fish..lol. A bag a month doesn't look as bad as two at a time...even if it might go further. I know they have two mills its coming from, just curious if that was a possibility.

I figure I might have another month of feeding here in NW AR with the way the weather is trending, even on catfish.

I could keep feeding pretty easily...just a bit close to Christmas...lol. I'm SOO ready for the actual fall weather. This week and last felt like summer was back. We are bad dry right now...had next to nothing in Oct. Under a burn ban right now. Pond is at its lowest since last year. Have you had any rain of late? I know you have watched it go north and south for so long...

Still sitting at low pool here in N. Illinois as well. I'm still hoping some of the rain that keeps passing us by will hit us one of these days. I stopped feeding a couple weeks ago do to lack of enthusiasm from the BG and CC.

I got .3" yesterday. Biggest rain in months. Water temp is 60, fish are still feeding.
12 yr old pond, 1 ac, 15' deep.
RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

Has anyone noticed that the optimal Jr. sinks? just purchased a couple bags and about 20% sinks immediately with the remainder progressively sinking within a short time. Is it possible I got a bad batch?

Just saw your post on the junior line. The feed should be all floating. We make fresh feed regularly and the first few bags and last few bags tend to sink just as part of the normal extrusion process. We try to discard a few everytime, but one must have snuck through. Denser pellets carry higher nutrient density per pellet than a less dense pellet (think a cup of cheetos vs a cup of cliff bars) so it absolutely wont hurt the fish
I'll ger a replacement bag put to you this week. I apologize for any inconvenience. -Dustin 605-691-5551

No worries Dustin, I purchased this food to start off about 2000 CNBG fingerlings. I have since started feeding against the bank and they seen to be getting all the sinkers. Their feeling behavior went through the roof after only 4-5 morning and evening feedings. The way they are now attacking this food I doubt a kernel will remain. Definitely a HUGE improvement since my original post. Thanks for the heads up on the extruder challenges.
All the best,
Tommy

I seldom have any sink, which as fast as my 3-4 inch BG attack it. I don't think it would stand a chance anyway.
