Cull underperforming fish and train your predator to take the fillets. Requires a few weeks of training, I do this from Spring to Fall off my dock and have YP, SMB, HSB, WE and HBCP routinely taking fillets until I'm out. Keep culled fish in cages, net and prepare for feeding on site or you can prepare and freeze them ahead of time and bring them out to the pond during feeding, fish don't demonstrate any preference as long as they are thawed. My fillet fish average 130-140 WR - obviously makes an amazing difference in their growth. Additionally, I'm removing biomass from the fishery, and create a free supplemental feeding resource. Just requires a little effort and training.


Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after. ~ Henry David Thoreau
