Well cleaned out the old TSC powder that was left. I do not think the feeder through much the last couple days. Filled half full of AM500, then threw a few small hand fulls in the shallows. Took a few minutes then they started hitting. Much more aggressively than with the other feed. Instead of a little pop, we actually got a good splash. Left and started bush hogging. Feeder went off at 7:40. All I can say is WOW. After a few started hitting, it was like the last day of school at the local elementary. They swarmed. I had never seen them like that. I figure much of that was the day or so without feed. But I can't help but think that this feed, with fish meal being the top ingredient attracted them.
Maybe dumb question, but can fish tell the difference before it hits their mouth and they taste it? Would they be more attracted to the fish meal than the grain? Or do they not know the difference until they actually eat it? Do some feeds work like the old baitmait that you could spray on your baits, like an attractant? I read on some threads that the gamefish chow had something like that...didn't know about the sportfish.
edit, girls thought it was really cool that "that guy in daddy's magazines" was also on the new fish feed.
