(Be forewarned, I'm gonna philosophize here)

"Sport fishermen," depending on their inclinations, could have a problem with easy fishing at the feeder. But everyone should feel free to make their sport (whatever it may be) as challenging as they want to handle. E.G. wrt deer, I don't have a problem with longbow hunting, crossbow hunting, handgun hunting, or long gun hunting - choose what you want (I have done all of these except crossbow, depending on the time I have to hunt at each stage of my life).

As a fishing farmer (not currently a fishfarmer, IMO) I note that I get fat steers for the butcher much easier in the pen where I put 50 lbs of grain a day. I don't consider this sporting, but I don't consider it wrong, either. It's an efficient way to get protein. If someone wants to say fishing at the feeder isn't sporting, go ahead. But it is at least an efficient way to get protein.

Finally (and in reference to Greg's note) as far as fishing goes I am still a kid. And I hope that wrt fishing, I never completely grow up.
