I have used a piece of tin (roof type) suspended about a foot off the bottom in 4 ft of water to feed sinking pellets over. RES would eat off the tin but not all the pellets were eaten. You have to get the solids off of the tin every once in a while for it to continue working. Some of those RES would feed train to eat at the surface.
Any experience with other species regarding both eating sinking pellets in general and sinking pellets that had made it to the bottom?
