Interesting subject. It strikes me that I’ve never tried to fish after getting them sated on pellets. But then, To find out, I would have to throw pellets until they were ignored. That would be a reaction strike which I think does occur. Not unusual for me to toss a handful of pellets to draw them to the area.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP Grandpa
