Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Pellet Feeding LMB

That last sentence spoke volumes to me. If we assume the bluegill are disappearing due to heavy bass predation, we can assume your young bass will earn the same fate, whether trained to feed or not. So, in this scenario, and you have too many bass for the bluegill to thrive, it's time to remove bass. If bluegill are disappearing for other reasons, it's time to change suppliers.
Bass in a pond respond like Pavlov's dogs. Increased frequency of a proactive stimulus increases the odds of the desired reaction. At the same time, largemouth bass in a "natural" pond environment seem to always be predators, if not for any other reason than because human stimulus is sporadic, at best, in the big scheme of things. Bottom line, you will probably get a handful of bass on feed, and if their kinfolk don't eat them you will have a few bass become pets. That will be fun.
