I haven’t noticed any larger fish feeding when I throw out pellets just minnows nibbling. Will res or yp feed on surface or do they typically wait for the pellets to sink? What about smb?

In my observation my LMB and SMB hit the surface hard feeding on the minnows and CNBG that are feeding on the pellets. I have seen the bass sitting below the surface eating the sinking pellets but they never eat the floating stuff.
The SMB will bounce off the dock, jump on the bank, fly threw the air to eat a baby fish.
