It really is amazing how fish change on the feeding once they get it figured out or maybe it's once us rookie pond managers (speaking of myself here) get them the food at the right time and place. We had a very similar experience at our pond this year with the BG and really stacking up just ahead of the feeder going off. One of our next pond projects at the farm is to put in a dock which will allow the feeder to be moved so that we can feed further from the shore / deeper water.
Thanks for the info on Skretting. I looked at a few choices on fish food and ended up going with a different brand. I hadn't considered mixing two different brands of food. Sounds like it's working for you.
I am very much a rookie, 15 months ago I was within a week of putting $8000 worth of fish in a 5 acre mud puddle that was behind the house I just bought. With sheer luck Bob returned my call and got me in touch with an amazing old man that lived closer to me, 5 days later the pond was Rotenoned instead of stocked with fish
Our feeder sits 36’ out in to the water
