Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding What size area should feed be thrown

There was a discussion on pellet trained fish not long ago and the consensus of the pros was that both pellet trained and non pellet trained fish are still available, depending on the source, but pellet trained seem to be more prevalent. Can't hurt to ask.

There are folks that intentionally let their bass over populate and stunt. I can think of one case where the pondmeister is growing trophy HBG and wants little to no recruitment. All those hungry stunted bass feast on any HBG spawn and serve him well. The difference between his goal and yours is, he doesn't harvest his HBG, he just wants them big. In your case, you want an abundance of CNBG to harvest.

Hopefully, one of the pros will chime in with some thoughts on your 1 to 5 LMB to CNBG stocking ratio if your goal is abundant nice CNBG for harvest.
