Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Bluegill Movement

My question concerns bluegill movement around feeders. Are they homebody welfare hogs or do they move around the pond to forage for supplemental food items when not waiting on the feeder to discharge? I only try to feed supplementally and not to satiation per feeding...i.e.about 1.5 pounds per feeding, three times daily. They would readily consume more, much more. However, my intent is to have balanced fishing over the entire pond with nice bluegill rather than welfare hogs inhabitating a small area of the pond. If indeed they don't forage when not fed, am I restricting growth with limited feeding and would be better off not feeding at all. I might add the pond is 2 years old, 6+ acres, and stocked with large mouth bass, bluegill, shellcracker, and 10 grass carp. I fertilize to 18-24 inch visibility.
