Faw, you can offer a lot, believe me. I have learned far more from my failures than successes. Your actual experiences are most valuable, far more valuable than theory.
Your questions on BG feeding got some good answers that match my experience also. I've caught BG that were clearly stuffed with pellets, far away from the feeders. You don't need to do a stomach test to tell cause they spit it back up when caught. The problem with feeding that I have experienced is not welfare BG, but welfare LMB. They hang out in wait to pick off BG at the feeders. Its an easy meal, and partially as a result, they refuse any lures in the pond. Wondering if you have seen anything similar?
