KY, I've seen bluegill be choosy before, but they eventually learn that they need to eat what feed is presented, and that can take varying amounts of time.

I also use this same Optimal feed, and I've found that pre-soaking the feed in water for about 5-10 minutes helps get more bluegill to take the feed and not spit it out.


Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
