Pond Boss Forums FISH & FISHING Sunfish-Including Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass Somebody has had this issue before..right?

Here is a BG HBG issue I've been having. They don't like to bite on live worms, crickets, plastic lures, or even Stubby Steves. If I throw out some AquaMax they hit it pretty hard. I only feed once a day right now, and I don't overfeed IMO (maybe 1/2 a solo cup of feed at a time). I have tried really small hooks which I don't like because they can get them deep if I don't set the hook at the right time which when fishing with a 5 year old can be difficult.

Any suggestions? I hate to stop feeding because they are really growing well.
