I caught a CC on the opposite end of my 15 A lake, 20 minutes after the feeder went off, with fresh pellets in his stomach, I was a little surprised by that.
My point being, I think they will travel across an acre pond in a heartbeat.
Didnt know there was a BG that wouldnt take feed, I can travel to all quadrants of my lake and toss out feed out of a boat and have takers, even tho I seldom do.
Although on one side of the pond that I hand feed several times a week, they will come swimming toward me in a swarm to get food.
Heck, if I send you a magic flute, do you think you can play like the Pied Piper and lead the CC straight into the hot oil?
