Meadowlark, I am interested in your opinion regarding pellet feeders and LMB. I have a new 2 year old pond with pellet feeders. The CNBG or doing great, the largest are about 8 inches long and the largest LMB is about 8 inches at this time. I stocked approx. 50% Natives and 50% Florida's. My objective is to grow large LMB. Do you think there is an advantage to not pellet feeding the CNBG at some point? I do plan to stock TS and or Talapia next year and thereafter if possible.
