If your CC are eating FA, they probably can't get ahold of anything they like better. But if the Bass are healthy, that seems like an indicator you've still got BG left for them to eat. Are there any other fish besides BG the Bass could be living on?

CC are smart enough that catching more than one or two per fishing attempt is hard for me, too. I can keep most of them out of the pellets during a feeding cycle by catching one just before hand.
