Thank you ewest for your insight. That was going to be my next question as far as how many feeders that the forum would recommend and the location of each feeder. I will most likely begin with one feeder soon and add a second one when the funds become available. Currently, I have begun hand feeding a pound of feed twice a day at locations 1, 3, and 4 for a total of 6 pounds of feed per day. My goal is to improve and increase my BG population as quickly as possible. The fishery guy recommended that I add 5,000 Coppernose Bluegill, 4”-5” in the spring. This would be a substantial investment that I'm not sure that I can financially justify all at once. I am considering starting by hitting hard with the feeding and add whatever BG that I can afford in the spring (probably 1000). I will be adding structure in the next few weeks as recommended. What are your thoughts or suggestions with my plan?
