Could someone please weigh in on if I should continue to feed manually in a few other locations.
About once a week I walk around the pond and feed by hand too. I only target areas that have heavy structure and are known to hold fish. I don't think I have to do this by any means because the feeder is doing the heavy lifting. I do it because it's fun to see the fish come up. I think it also helps me confirm areas that are holding fish.
My only reservation would be overfeeding. Overfeeding could cause poor water quality, so I just do it once a week.
