Don't feed more than they can consume in 15 minutes. (per feeding event)


Agreed - feeder placement is paramount - think of prevailing winds [here it's SW majority of time] so you aren't slinging expensive feed into headwinds where it will wind up on the bank and promote water quality issues. If BOW is protected in valley or by trees it's not such an issue - but on my open ponds I always have feeders facing Northeast.
