Pond Boss Forums Thread Like Summary - Choosing the right feed and feeder

we are building a pond in northeast texas and will have the normal LB, BG baitfish catfish mix in it. We aren't at the property all the time so we need a pretty large feeder. If anyone has any suggestions on one and the size that would be great. Also how long will a full feeder last before we need to fill up?

Also Ive looked at just about every feed out there and cant seem t decide on which one is best. Ideally we need one feed for bluegill catfish and one for feed trained largmouth. What are your guys' go to feeds?

They make directional feeder control units that you can hook up to most deer feeders. I just repurposed an old 300# deer feeder and put one of these on it. They had it in stock at my local feed store but I was able to find it online to show you what I'm talking about: https://westtexasfeedersupply.com/product/12-volt-directional-control-unit-wthe-timer/

this has a better picture of the top to show you how it works:

It throws pretty far, but you'd still need the feeder to be up on the edge of the water because some just drops straight down.

I didn't pay as much as that website is asking though, so you should check your local feed store see what they have or if they can get one. Might save you a bit.
