ML,Iknow you have several ponds,however referring to your last post is one stocked with just tilapia and gizzard shad for forage or does it also have BG.And not to get side tracked but in regards to your LM that are hook shy (which i believe)have you ever tryed hand feeding them with 3 or 4 containers of night crawlers at the feeders everyday for about a month(just one worm at a time). Came across the same situation(frustrating)and the LM started to ignore the BG (not all together)to engulf the offerings we were giving them.Hence ,when the feeder went off we could throw plastic worms in to catch them.
